SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – If Brandon Rush, a 6-foot-6-inch junior at the University of Kansas, didn't injure his knee a year ago in a pick-up basketball game, he might be playing in the NBA today. Instead of returning to KU, Rush was planning to turn professonal. But the knee injury delayed those plans. Now he's hoping to help the Kansas Jayhawks win the national championship game on Monday night. KCUR's Greg Echlin reports from San Antonio.
