Desperate for a victory, the Seton Hall Pirates ventured down south on I-95 to Washington D.C. There to greet them were the Georgetown Hoyas, who of late had caught fire with three straight wins and five in their last seven contests. Given the Pirates had lost five of their last six entering play on Saturday afternoon, the word “crucial” could be best suited to describe what a victory would be for Kevin Willard’s bunch.
As fate would have it, a victory would be delivered to the boys from South Orange. After needing 45 minutes to decide a winner, Seton Hall emerged with a 68-66 win over Georgetown to get back in the win column.
