Gonzaga’s miracle shot calls to mind Tyus Edney’s season-saving basket for UCLA in 1995

UCLA’s wild NCAA tournament run ended Saturday night in the Final Four when Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer from 40 feet in overtime to win it 93-90. Suggs’ shot saved the Bulldogs’ unbeaten season and secured them a date with Baylor in the national championship game.

The Bruins missed out at a chance to win a 12th national championship. Their 11th title, in 1995, was saved by a similar miracle basket. What transpired Saturday could be called a “Reverse Edney” because the scene was somewhat similar.

Bruin fans will remember this as the “Tyus Edney miracle.
