Dre'una Edwards' unlikely path to becoming a Kentucky legend

There isn’t a better under(cat) story than that of Dre’una Edwards.

In Kentucky’s 64-62 win over South Carolina in the SEC Tournament championship game on Sunday, Edwards recorded 27 points and nine rebounds while shooting 11-21 from the field and 3-5 from beyond the arc. More importantly, Edwards drilled the game-winning shot with four seconds remaining in the contest to secure the conference crown.
