Self: Kansas backup Rodrick Stewart fractures right kneecap during Final Four open practice

SAN ANTONIO (AP)?Kansas reserve guard Rodrick Stewart fractured his right kneecap Friday during the Jayhawks? open practice at the Alamodome.

Kansas coach Bill Self confirmed the injury, saying Stewart slipped on a ?wet spot? on the court and will require surgery.

Stewart crumpled to the court after leaping to attempt a dunk near the end of 50-minute workout. As Stewart pounded the court, Self and trainers rushed to his side.

Stewart?s leg was wrapped in a brace, and the festive crowd grew quiet as he was taken off the court on a golf cart.

Stewart, a 6-4 senior from Seattle, provides depth off the bench, averaging 2.8 points and 11.6 minutes per game.

Terrible news, especially for a Senior in the Final 4

Rush of development at Kansas

SAN ANTONIO ? I wish someone would call her.

When the Kansas Jayhawks take the court Saturday against North Carolina in the Final Four, I wish someone would contact Brandon Rush?s former principal at Westport High School and tell her to turn on her television.

I would do it myself, but when I asked around Friday, no one could remember her name.

Only what she said.

?Her very last words as I left her office were: ?Brandon Rush is going to be a failure in life,? ? said John Walker, Rush?s close friend and former summer league coach. ?She told me he was never going to amount to (much).?

In this matchup, Kansas is Goliath -- but UNC is Superman

SAN ANTONIO -- My job was to cover North Carolina's news conferences on Friday, what the Tar Heels had for dinner, the last time they passed gas.

Have you seen some of these news conferences? Bland as low-fat mayo.

I've been trying to make a case for the Tar Heels losing to Kansas. Maybe North Carolina has a bad shooting day. Maybe two of their guards catch a case of SARS. Maybe Roy Williams could give a ---- about North Carolina. Anything can happen. It's the Final Four, right?

I'm trying and trying. Kansas is good. The Jayhawks deserve a tremendous amount of respect, but it's impossible not to think Kansas is overmatched.
