On 80s night in Newark, the Hoyas simply couldn't turn back the clock against the now surging Pirates. On the 100th meeting between these long-time Big East foes, Georgetown failed to deliver in what was probably a virtual elimination game as the team enters the final few weeks of conference play. To no one's surprise, the usual problems - turnovers, defensive rebounding, and free throw disparity - all contributed to Georgetown's less-than-stellar evening.
Donning old-school uniforms, Seton Hall energized its fired-up crowd with a performance that harkened back to the 1989 glory days when Anthony Event and Ramon Ramos propelled the Pirates to the Final Four.
