    Clemson's determination to overcome fatigue was no match for West Virginia's fresh legs.

    Playing their second game in just over 36 hours, the 12th-seeded Tigers built an early double-digit lead before falling 84-76 to the fifth-seeded Mountaineers in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Thursday.
