Maybe you’ve heard of Tyus Edney, an assistant coach for the UCLA Bruins team that finished third in the Hall of Fame Classic at Sprint Center on Tuesday by beating Wisconsin.

Yes, the same Tyus Edney who broke Mizzou hearts more than 20 years ago.

In the 1995 NCAA Tournament, a second round game at Boise, Missouri led UCLA 74-73 with 4.8 seconds remaining. The Bruins had to go to the length of the floor to have a shot at winning. Edney took the inbounds pass and went the distance for a game-winning layup at the buzzer.
