Delgado had 12 points, and his layup with 1:05 left gave the Pirates a 60-59 lead. The junior forward, who leads the nation in rebounding, also pulled down 13 boards.
Seton Hall (19-10, 9-8 Big East) was led by Desi Rodriguez's 27 points. It was the third win in a row for the Pirates, who have bolstered their NCAA Tournament with six wins in their last eight games.
Rodriguez went 10-for-20 from the floor and scored 17 of his points in the first half.

Meanwhile, it was the fourth straight loss for Georgetown and the team's sixth loss in seven games.
L.J. Peak led the Hoyas with 15 points, and senior guard Rodney Pryor was the only other Georgetown player in double figures with 11 points.
