Bad news for swedish Jeff Taylor ('89). Danero Thomas hit a 15-footer as the buzzer sounded and 13th-seeded Murray State stunned No. 4 seed Vanderbilt 66-65 in an NCAA tournament opener in the West Regional. It was the school's first victory in the NCAA tournament in 24 years.

For the second time in as many NCAA appearances, Vanderbilt bowed out early as the higher seed. The Commodores were also a first-round upset victim by Siena in 2008 when seeded fourth. Taylor -at the pic with number 44- scored 9 points (3/7 FG and 3/7 FT), grabbed 5 rebounds and dished 3 assists.
