The Seton Hall Pirates returned Thursday evening to the Prudential center to take on the Columbia Lions. Both squads came out strongly in the first half with the Pirates shooting 54 percent while the Lions shot a very respectable 50 percent in the first half. In the end, the Pirates would cruise to a 95-71 victory to improve to 5-2.
From the onset of the game it was clear that Columbia would have a difficult time containing Angel Delgado as he registered yet another double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Desi Rodriguez responded to his poor second half performance against Stanford on Sunday by displaying his versatility as a player.
