===1995 NCAA Tournament===
Edney's late-game heroics in the [[1995 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament|1995 Men's Division I Basketball Tournament]] earned him a spot in NCAA Tournament lore. His UCLA squad had played well in the 1994–1995 season, earning a No. 1 seed in the tournament's West Region.  Favored in their second-round match against eighth seed [[Missouri Tigers|Missouri]], UCLA fell behind 74–73 with 4.8 seconds remaining. Bruins coach [[Jim Harrick]] called a timeout, then called a play for point guard Edney, rather than star player [[Ed O'Bannon]].

[[Cameron Dollar]] inbounded the ball to Edney, who caught it in stride and ran up the left sideline. A Missouri defender picked him up near the top of the key, but loosely, to avoid fouling. At midcourt, another defender attempted to trap, but Edney used a behind-the-back dribble to evade the pressure.  After Edney reached the Missouri key, 6'9" Missouri forward [[Derek Grimm]] slid over to stop him. Edney adjusted his shot around Grimm, and banked the shot in as the game-ending red light blazed. UCLA won the game, 75–74.<ref>Friend, Tom – [https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CEEDF1530F933A15750C0A963958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1 N.C.A.A. TOURNAMENT: WEST; U.C.L.A. Dash Knocks Wind Out of Missouri]. New York Times, March 20, 1995. Quote: U.C.L.A.'s Tyus Edney ran a 94-foot dash in 4.7 seconds today. That he also managed to toss in a swooping layup left Missouri with its hands over its face. The No. 1-seeded Bruins trailed the No. 8-seeded Tigers by 1 point with 4.8 seconds remaining when Edney, a turbo point guard, started his cross-country journey. He took the inbounds pass under his own basket, was neck-and-neck with defender Jason Sutherland at midcourt, freed himself with a behind-the-back dribble, made a hairpin turn to the lane and banked in a shot over 6-foot-9-inch Derek Grimm at the buzzer.</ref><ref name=wharton>{{cite news |last=Wharton |first=David |title=He Went Great Length for Bruins |date=March 21, 2002 |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-mar-21-sp-edney21-story.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701155000/http://articles.latimes.com/print/2002/mar/21/sports/sp-edney21 |url-status=live |archive-date=July 1, 2012}}</ref>

Two games later against the [[Connecticut Huskies]], Edney had another chance at a full-court run before the half, and drained a 30-foot 3-pointer en route to a 102–96 victory.  UCLA went on to win its 11th NCAA basketball championship, defeating the defending champion [[Arkansas Razorbacks]] 89–78 in a game that Edney, who injured a wrist  in the semi-final win vs. Oklahoma State, mostly watched from the bench. 

Edney was named to the Tournament Western Regional All-Tournament team.

==Professional playing career==
===NBA===
Edney was selected by the [[Sacramento Kings]] in the second round of the [[1995 NBA draft]] with the 47th overall pick. He was named to the [[NBA All-Rookie Second Team]] and played with the Kings for two seasons (1995–1997). He spent the 1997–1998 season with the [[Boston Celtics]]. After playing in Europe for two years (Lithuania, 1998–1999; and Italy, 1999–2000), he returned to the NBA and played with the [[Indiana Pacers]], in the 2000–2001 season. 

In total, he played in four [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] seasons, scoring a total of 491. His best season, as measured by his average of 10.8 points per game, was his rookie year with the Kings.

===Europe===
In the [[1999 EuroLeague Final Four|1998–1999 season]], Edney won the [[EuroLeague]] championship with the Lithuanian club [[BC Žalgiris|Žalgiris Kaunas]],<ref name=wharton/> earning the [[EuroLeague Final Four MVP]] award in the process. He and teammate [[George Zidek]], who also won a title with Edney at UCLA, became the first players to win both an NCAA and EuroLeague championship.<ref>{{cite news|title=Panathinaikos Takes Title|date=May 3, 2009|newspaper=The New York Times|agency=The Associated Press|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/04/sports/basketball/04sportsbriefs-PANATHINAIKO_BRF.html|access-date=March 22, 2020}}</ref> 

Edney played in Italy, during the 1999–2000 season, with [[Pallacanestro Treviso|Benetton Treviso]] (losing in the [[Lega Basket Serie A|Italian League]] finals, and winning the [[Italian Basketball Cup|Italian Cup]] title). After that season, he spent the next season (2000–2001) playing in the [[NBA]].

After his departure from the NBA in 2001, Edney bounced around several European teams. During a 2001–2004 stint with [[Pallacanestro Treviso|Benetton Treviso]], he won the [[Lega Basket Serie A|Italian league]] in 2002 and 2003, the [[Italian Basketball Cup|Italian Cup]] in 2003 and 2004, and the [[Italian Basketball Supercup|Italian Supercup]] in 2001 and 2002; he also played in the [[2003 EuroLeague Final Four|2003]] [[EuroLeague Final]]. He played with [[Virtus Roma|Lottomatica Roma]] in the 2004–2005 season.

George Garbolas brought Edney to [[Olympiacos BC|Olympiacos]] to help rebuild the team, but he only played there for one season, in 2005–2006. In the 2006–2007 season, he returned to Italy, to play with [[Fortitudo Bologna|Climamio Bologna]]. He started the 2008–2009 season in the Spanish club [[CB Sevilla|Cajasol Sevilla]], and then (January 2009) moved to the Polish club [[Turów Zgorzelec]].<ref>[http://ksturow.pl/turow.php?str=1&news=211 Official info (30th January 2009)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203180914/http://ksturow.pl/turow.php?str=1&news=211 |date=2009-02-03 }}</ref>

In a 2005 profile in the [[L.A. Times|''Los Angeles Times'']], former [[UCLA Bruins men's basketball|UCLA Bruin]] teammate [[Ed O'Bannon]], said that Edney was hugely popular in Europe, saying, "his style, his size, the fact that his teams always win; he's somewhat of a novelty, a celebrity. When my teammates overseas found out that I played with him, it would be like someone in the States finding out that you played with [[Michael Jordan]]."<ref>{{cite news |last=Abel |first=Greg |date=March 14, 2005 |title=Still Going End to End |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-mar-14-sp-edney14-story.html |newspaper=L.A.
