On March 19, 1995, No. 1 seed UCLA defeated Missouri in the NCAA Tournament in a game that Tiger fans would never forget. Here is our original coverage.

The anatomy of a moment that will live in infamy in Missouri basketball lore begins with UCLA's Tyus Edney taking an inbound pass in his own end with 4.8 seconds left and wheeling upcourt.

As he turned, his team trailing 74-73, he was surprised to see but one immediate MU defender, Jason Sutherland. "I kind of thought either they would try a trap to slow us down or go into a zone to stop us from going straight in," Edney said.
