Selden continued that into the 2016 season, helping lead Kansas to the 2016 Maui Invitational title, pouring in 25 in the title game. From there, Selden was mostly up and down for the rest of the season, with his best performance coming in a 33 point effort in an overtime victory over Kentucky, but some low points mixed in as well, like a 0-6 from three effort in the Elite 8 loss to Villanova.
