KU’s Brandon Rush to have jersey retired at Allen Fieldhouse

A second member of Kansas’ 2008 national championship team will have his jersey placed in the Allen Fieldhouse rafters.

Brandon Rush, who was a first-team All-Big 12 player in all three of his seasons during 2006-08, will have his No. 25 jersey retired at halftime of KU’s Feb. 22 home game against TCU, the school announced Saturday.

Rush will join teammate Mario Chalmers, who received the same distinction in 2013.

“I still can’t believe it right now,” Rush said in a release. “I came from Kansas City and played down the street from Lawrence. Being able to have my name up there is pretty big in representing my whole family.
