The ninth-seeded Vanderbilt Commodores appeared in line for an NCAA tournament win over the eighth-seeded Northwestern Wildcats Thursday when Riley LaChance gave them a one-point lead with 17.8 seconds to go.
However, an intentional foul by Matthew Fisher-Davis three ticks later sent the Wildcats to the line, where Bryant McIntosh knocked down what proved to be the game-winning free throws.
After the loss, Fisher-Davis owned up to his mistake and admitted he thought the Commodores were still down following LaChance's layup.
"I actually thought we were down one," Fisher-Davis said after the first-round loss, per the Associated Press' Eddie Pells.
