Jason Kapono and Kareem Rush could have been teammates for either Missouri or UCLA, the two teams that will square off tonight in San Jose, Calif.

The two star small forwards hung out at the Final Four several years ago, along with Missouri reserve Josh Kroenke. Kapono, a Lakewood, Calif., native, nearly signed with Missouri, partially because of a friendship with Kroenke - a teammate on AAU teams during high school - and a wish for a change of scenery.

"I wanted to leave the state of California," said Kapono, who obviously changed his mind. "I thought it would be less pressure ... [Missouri] had a great program and a great coach."
