Seton Hall and Georgetown will face off on Saturday in another Big East clash with the Pirates looking to get back on track after another disappointing loss.
The Pirates fell, 72-70, on the road against Xavier on Wednesday. The defeat was Seton Hall’s fifth in six games, with previous losses to Marquette, Providence, Villanova and Butler. Before this skid, the Pirates had not lost back-to-back games all season long.
