ImpactNo word of an injury ever surfaced here, but the Rice basketball program doesn't exactly have steady media coverage either. Selden began the season as a starter for Rice, but battled another undisclosed issue that forced him to miss a two-game stretch spanning from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. Since then, he's appeared off the bench in eight consecutive games, logging double-digit minutes in seven of them. That type of usage makes a performance-related benching unlikely, but we should get a better picture of his status if he appears Saturday at Temple.
