THE GAME
Seton Hall will return to action on Thursday, February 18 when it hosts BIG EAST rival Georgetown in Walsh Gymnasium. Tip time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. This game was originally scheduled for Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., but was pushed a day due to weather impacting the Pirates trip back from Chicago.

MEDIA
The game will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and shown on FloHoops.com with Sean Saint Jacques and Phil Stern on the call. As usual, the game will also be available over the airwaves at 89.5 FM WSOU and at wsou.net. Liam Plate and Heaven Hill will describe the action on the radio. Live stats will also be available.

LAST GAME
Sophomore Lauren Park-Lane (Wilmington, Del.) scored a game-high 24 points and both Andra Espinoza-Hunter (Ossining, N.Y.) and Desiree Elmore (Hartford, Conn.) had double-doubles, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team fell at No. 19 DePaul, 82-76, on Monday.

After an even first half, DePaul scored the first nine points of the third quarter and the Pirates were never able to fully recover. Although The Hall out-shot the Blue Demons, the Pirates were just 5-for-26 from three-point range.

Park-Lane scored 24 points on 10-for-20 shooting and dished out five assists. Espinoza-Hunter had 17 points and 15 rebounds for her first career double-double, while Elmore had 13 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and a career-high five blocks.

EARLIER THIS YEAR AGAINST GEORGETOWN
The Pirates relied on a strong defensive effort amid a poor shooting night to outlast Georgetown, 60-52, on Feb. 8 for what was its sixth consecutive victory.

Playing in their first game after a 17-day layoff, the Pirates struggled mightily shooting the ball early, but found their touch in the fourth quarter. After shooting just 19.7% from the floor through three quarters, The Hall was 10-for-15 (67.7%) in the defining fourth quarter.

Andra Espinoza-Hunter had a tough shooting night, but came through down the stretch. She led The Hall with 18 points, nine of which were scored in the fourth quarter. Senior Desiree Elmore, Lauren Park-Lane and Jasmine Smith all also scored in double-figures. Elmore finished with 15 points, five rebounds and four steals. Park-Lane netted 12 points, while Smith came off the bench for a big 11 points, four rebounds and two steals.

SCOUTING GEORGETOWN
Georgetown is coming off a very difficult 5-25 season overall, which included a 2-16 mark in BIG EAST play. The Hoyas finished the 2019-20 campaign with six straight losses.

This season, Georgetown isn't expected to improve much, unanimously picked to finish last in the 11-team BIG EAST. Head Coach James Howard has a very young team this season and saw many of its leading scorers from a year ago graduate.

Georgetown enters Monday's contest with a record of 1-11 having played only BIG EAST games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hoyas defeated Butler on New Year's Eve to improve to 1-1, but has dropped 10 straight games since. Most recently, Georgetown was edged by Creighton, on Monday. Milan Bolden-Morris led the team with 17 points.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Saturday, February 20 when it remains home for a BIG EAST battle with Providence. Tip-time is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET. The contest will be streamed by the BIG EAST Digital Network and shown on FloHoops.com. The game will also be available on the radio at 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net.
