Busy playing in the NBA the past 10 years, Brandon Rush hasn’t paid a heck of a lot of attention to hot topics involving his alma mater (Kansas) and brother Kareem’s alma mater (Missouri).
“What happened, anyway?” Brandon Rush, KU’s 33-year-old former smooth-shooting wing from Kansas City who now lives in Indiana, said with a smile, asking why the Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers haven’t played a men’s basketball game since February 25, 2012, when the Jayhawks toppled the Tigers, 87-86, in overtime at Allen Fieldhouse.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” the soft-spoken Rush added quickly, expressing his opinion in the affirmative that the two schools should play games again for real, not only alumni games such as Saturday night’s “Rivalry Renewed” contest for charity at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena in Independence.
