Delgado, Rodriguez give Seton Hall big win over Xavier
NEWARK, N.J. -- Angel Delgado had 25 points and 13 rebounds and Seton Hall took another step toward the NCAA Tournament with a 71-64 win over fading Xavier on Wednesday night.
Desi Rodriguez added 22 points and put the Pirates (17-10, 7-8 Big East) ahead for good with a drive across that ignited a 10-4 run.
J.P. Macura scored 22 points and Trevon Bluiett, returning from an ankle injury, added 14 as the foul-plagued Musketeers (18-10, 8-7) lost their fourth straight.
Xavier had not lost four games in a row since the 2012-13 season, the only campaign in the last 11 that the Musketeers failed to make the NCAA Tournament.
