NCAA: Northwestern Gets 1st Tourney Win; Full Day 1 Scoreboard

>>> With 2 gift FTs, Northwestern prevails 68-66 over Vandy
 
SALT LAKE CITY - Northwestern got its first-ever NCAA Tournament victory, 68-66 over Vanderbilt, after Commodores guard Matthew Fisher-Davis inexplicably grabbed Wildcats guard Bryant McIntosh on purpose, sending McIntosh to the free throw line for the go-ahead points with 15 seconds left.
 
Riley LaChance made a layup with 18 seconds remaining in Thursday's game to put the ninth-seeded Commodores up by one after trailing by as many as 15.
 
But seconds after the in-bounds pass, Fisher-Davis reached out and grabbed McIntosh while he was in the backcourt. That put eighth-seeded Northwestern in the double bonus, and McIntosh went to the line and calmly swished the free throws with 15 seconds left.
 
LaChance missed a 3 on the next possession and eighth-seeded Northwestern (24-11) got another free throw.
