In a battle of contrasting styles, Seton Hall’s fast paced attack prevailed over Delaware State’s ball control in the Pirates’ 77-54 win at the Prudential Center Monday afternoon. Seton Hall won for the second time in three games to improve to 9-3 on the season, while the Hornets lost their fifth straight to fall to 3-9.

Senior guard Roy Bright was the only Hornet to finish with double-digit scoring (24 points). His team shot a woeful 34 percent in the first half, a stat that served as its biggest setback, before a quiet crowd of 5,285 at the Prudential Center. Bright’s performance included four three-point field goals. Donald Johnson added eight points, while Kyle White had a season-high seven for the Hornets.
