Pirates' 'Moses' commands boards

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- It will be Moses against Moses inside when the Arkansas Razorbacks play Seton Hall today in the NCAA Tournament.

That's 6-10 senior Moses Kingsley for the Razorbacks and 6-10 junior Angel Delgado -- nicknamed "Moses Malone" -- for the Pirates.

"We call Angel 'Moses Malone' to be honest with you," said Seton Hall Coach Kevin Willard, who began his career working as an assistant for the Boston Celtics in 1998. "I know Moses wasn't playing in the NBA when I when I was there, but I remember watching Moses."

Malone, who died in 2015 at age 60, was a three-time NBA Most Valuable player who had 17,834 rebounds in 1,459 games -- an average of 12.
