Andre Miller and Jamal Cobbs were teammates at Verbum Dei High School in Los Angeles four years ago. While Miller was recruited to Utah, Cobbs went to Ventura Community College before moving to the University of San Francisco. They hadn't even spoken since high school, although Miller said he's tried to get in touch with Cobbs.

Thursday night, the two former teammates finally got together on the court and while Cobbs won the numbers battle, Miller's team is the one advancing in the NCAA tournament.Cobbs was one of the few bright spots for the Dons, who had trouble sinking shots against the Utes' tough man-to-man defense. He was about the only offense in the first half when he made 4 of 4 shots including three 3-pointers. Without Cobbs, the Dons shot an anemic 17 percent the first half. In the second half, the Utes paid a little more attention to him, but he still made 2 of 3 to finish with 6 of 7 field goals for 16 points.

Miller finished with eight points, five below his average, but also came up with six assists and three steals and just two turnovers against San Francisco's pressure defense (Deseret News).
