Tyus Edney's winning shot for UCLA in 1995 against Missouri lives on in NCAA tournament lore. But whatever happened to Derek Grimm, the guy he scored on?
after losing a seven-point lead in a 1974 double-overtime loss to North Carolina State.
Missouri had no chance without the dynamic power forward who could sink three-pointers, a stretch four before the term was invented. Grimm was his team’s third-leading scorer and rebounder who also made a stunning 47.5% of his three-pointers. Was it enough? As UCLA called a timeout, with Missouri players streaming onto the court in celebration, Grimm looked at the clock. The only thing standing between his team and the biggest tournament upset in school history were those 4.8 seconds.
“Honestly, I think he did what he was supposed to do,” Edney said. “He was supposed to be there to make it tough and kind of contest without fouling.” The shot made Edney something of a celebrity beyond his brief NBA career. About to enter a clothing store in Beverly Hills, he was once recognized by heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson after some small talk.Grimm faded into relative anonymity, the Tigers going to the National Invitation Tournament his junior year before finishing with a losing record in his final college season. He never imagined the play involving Edney would be his last on college basketball’s biggest stage.
