On an 80s-themed Saturday night in Newark complete with throwback music, retro jerseys and a crowd of more than 9,000 fans, Seton Hall beat Georgetown, 69-61, in a classic Big East matchup.
The win moves Seton Hall into sole possession of third place in the Big East with a record of 17-6, 7-4.
The Hoyas hung tight with Seton Hall throughout the physical contest, but never led after the 15:38 mark in the second half. Both teams shot less than 40 percent from the floor, but a brick-wall defensive effort from the Pirates gave them the edge.
