Tyus Edney has seen this all before.
The early season victory over highly ranked Kentucky. A feisty sixth man point guard. Freshmen who changed the complexion of the team. A disheartening road loss to Oregon for the first defeat of the season followed by an emotional home triumph over the Ducks.
The onetime dynamo of a point guard would like another similarity to emerge between two of the most enthralling UCLA teams in recent decades: the ending.
The 1994-95 season concluded with Edney and his teammates cutting down the nets inside Seattle’s Kingdome after winning the national championship.
