He also led the team in assists as a sophomore, then followed with a junior season where he helped WSU to a 22-11 record, the most wins in nine years, and an NIT appearance. As a senior, Seltzer averaged 17.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists to garner USBWA All-District 8 and All-Pac-10 First Team honors. In addition to being the all-time leader in three-point field goals made and attempted, going 230-for-585 from beyond the arc in his career, Seltzer also closed his career third in scoring at WSU and first in assists, becoming the first player in school history to record four-straight seasons with 100-plus assists. Following his Cougar career, he spent four seasons playing professionally overseas before joining the coaching staff at Oklahoma.
