 CHICAGO (AP) - Seeing "Kentucky" on the opponent's jerseys was motivation enough for Brandon Rush. Knowing Michael Jordan was watching made it a day to remember. Rush was a career-best 6-of-7 from long range Sunday, including 4-for-4 in the second half as top-seeded Kansas romped past Kentucky 88-76 in an NCAA tournament matchup of two of the game's most storied programs.
Rush finished with 19 points, and Chicago native Julian Wright scored 15 of his 21 in the second half. The Jayhawks shot a blistering 64 percent in the final 20 minutes to pull away and win their 13th in a row.
"We just had a mind-set that nobody could guard us," Rush said.
