A matchup with ninth-place Georgetown on Saturday provided Seton Hall an opportunity to bounce back after losing to Marquette at home Wednesday, but the right answers still elude the Pirates.
Seton Hall’s first-half struggles proved to be too much to overcome in the team’s 83-80 loss at Georgetown, the team’s fifth loss in its last seven games.
The Pirates’ were slow out of the gate, falling behind 11-8 at the first media timeout. Desi Rodriguez accounted for six of the Hall’s eight points on two three-pointers.
The Pirates went on to miss 13 shots in the first eight minutes of play, good for 33 percent shooting.
