LAWRENCE, Kan. — Wayne Selden picked the right time to tie a career high for 3-pointers, even if it took the sophomore guard some time to heat up Monday as the Kansas Jayhawks topped the Iowa State Cyclones 89-76 in Allen Fieldhouse.

The Houston Rockets fear that center Dwight Howard might be sidelined at least a month because of the continuing problems with his right knee, ESPN reported Saturday.
