Defensive lapses at Georgetown end Pirates’ four-game winning streak

Seton Hall’s defensive woes from the perimeter have been a constant issue for the team this season, and they proved detrimental in Saturday night’s loss to Georgetown. The Hoyas shot 10-for-16 from three-point range and outshot the Pirates from the field 50% to 43.3% to put a dent in Seton Hall’s NCAA Tournament hopes.

Despite coming into the game on a four-game winning streak, the Pirates rarely looked completely in control of all four of those games. Saturday’s loss asked questions of Seton Hall’s ability to do so against a scrappy Georgetown side, but they failed to answer in an 81-75 loss.
