In his freshman season at UCLA in 1992, Edney was named the most valuable freshman player on his team.[2] In his sophomore season, Edney was voted the team's most valuable player (MVP),[3] and he was named to the first-team All-Pacific-10 (Pac-10) Conference team.[4] He was again named to the first-team All-Pac-10 conference team in 1994.[4] As a senior in 1994–95, Edney set personal bests in total points (456), steals (74), and assists (216).[5] He was named the team's co-MVP along with Ed O'Bannon,[3] the team's most outstanding defensive player,[2] first-team All-Pac-10 for the third consecutive year,[4] and won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the nation's best player under 6 feet (1.8 m) tall.[6]
Edney was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009,[7] as well as the Pac-12 Conference Hall of Honor in 2014.[8] He ranks second in the school's history in career assists (652) and third in steals (224).[9]

Edney's late game heroics in the
Cameron Dollar inbounded the ball to Edney who caught it in stride and took off up the left sideline. A Missouri defender picked him up at about the top of the key, although not with extreme on-ball pressure due to a fear of fouling. At midcourt, another defender attempted to trap, but Edney used a behind-the-back dribble that evaded the pressure. After Edney reached the Missouri key, 6'9" Missouri forward Derek Grimm slid over in an attempt to stop him. Edney adjusted his shot around Grimm, and banked the shot in at the buzzer. The ball dramatically drained through the net as the game ending red light blazed. UCLA won the game 75–74.[10][11]

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.
