Box Score BOX SCORE HIGHLIGHTS SIDEBAR

WASHINGTON - Junior Angel Delgado (Bajos De Haina, Dominican Republic) dominated by scoring a career-high 26 points and grabbing 17 rebounds and junior Desi Rodriguez (Bronx, N.Y.) scored what proved to be the game-winning basket with 1:06 remaining in overtime as the Seton Hall men's basketball team pulled out a 68-66 victory over Georgetown Saturday at Verizon Center.

Seton Hall (14-8, 4-6 BIG EAST) scored its first BIG EAST road victory of the season by taking down the Hoyas (13-11, 4-7 BIG EAST) at Verizon Center for a second straight season.

Delgado's double-double was his 17th of the season and 40th of his career. Junior Khadeen Carrington (Brooklyn, N.Y.) finished with 16 points as The Hall's only other double-digit scorer.

LJ Peak led the Hoyas with 17 points and seven assists.

Turning Point
In a game that featured nine ties and 14 lead changes, it came down to the final minute of regulation and again in overtime. The Pirates led 59-54 with 7:18 left in regulation, but points then became hard to come by. It was tied 59-59 for nearly three minutes until Peak made a pair of free throws at 1:25 to go up two.

The two teams traded baskets again as Georgetown led 63-61. Carrington then drove into the lane, stopped and then put up a leaner from inside the paint that went in to tie the game at 63-63. Georgetown's Rodney Pryor missed a jumper with 10 seconds left, and Carrington went for the win in transition, but he was called for a charge, fouling out of the game and sending it to overtime.

With the Pirates up 65-64 late in overtime, Pryor nailed a huge jumper with 1:27 to go to reclaim the lead. Then Rodriguez curled from under the basket to the free throw line, grabbed a pass from freshman Myles Powell (Trenton, N.J.), took a dribble in and hit a one-handed paint floater to put the Pirates back up, 67-66.

The teams traded missed baskets, and it was Delgado who then came up with a strip of Pryor with four seconds left underneath the basket that helped send senior Madison Jones (Raleigh, N.C.) to the foul line, where he made one of two. The Georgetown desperation three from halfcourt was way off, sending The Hall to victory.

Inside the Numbers

Both teams struggled to shoot the basketball as defense prevailed. The Pirates were 35.5 percent from the field (22-for-62); the Hoyas 38.1 percent (24-for-63).
For the fourth time this season and first time in BIG EAST play, the Pirates shot over 70 percent from the free throw line, making 21 of 29 attempts (72.4 percent).
Three-point shooting was off for both teams; the Pirates were 3-for-11 and the Hoyas were 1-for-19. Both the number of threes made and the three-point percentage (5.3 percent) were season lows for a Seton Hall opponent.
The Pirates continued their dominance on the glass, out-rebounding Georgetown 45-43 and using 17 offensive rebounds to net 17 second chance points.
Delgado delivered his 40th career double-double and 17th of the season with his career-high 26 points and his 17 rebounds. It is the eighth time this season that Delgado's grabbed at least 15 boards, five of them coming in BIG EAST play.
Delgado continues to lead the nation in rebounding; he's now at 13.09 rebounds per game and has 910 boards for his career. Delgado's 508 career rebounds in conference games now rank 17th all-time in BIG EAST history.
Carrington posted 16 points and three assists as he now has scored in double figures in 20 of 22 games.
Rodriguez finished the day with nine points and a career-high 12 rebounds.
