Postgame audio - Coach John Thompson III, Julian Vaughn, Austin Freeman & Chris Wright:
Georgetown was unable to stop Seton Hall on 11 consecutive defensive possessions, yet the Hoyas put the ball in the basket often enough themselves to stay within striking distance of the Pirates throughout the second half of Tuesday's second half in Newark.
Seton Hall either scored or went to the free throw line every time they had the ball from the 8:53 mark until the final two minutes.
"At our next practice, I don't know if we're going to do anything else than play one-on-one," said Georgetown head coach John Thompson III. "We did a very poor job at the defensive end."
