West Virginia University defeated Clemson 84-76 to advance to the next round in the NCAA basketball tournament.
With the Mountaineers clinging to a 5-point lead, Dalton Pepper scored on back-to-back steals with just over a minute left to stretch out West Virginia's lead.
Pepper then stole the ball again on the next Clemson possession, knocking the ball out of bounds off the Tigers. The Mountaineers took possession with 1:02 left, drawing a foul that sent Truck Bryant to the free throw line, where he made one of two to finally give West Virginia a comfortable lead.
That began a parade of Mountaineers to the free throw line in the final minute.
