Seton Hall finally won its first Big East game of the season, while Louisville still hasn't found a conference opponent that can give the Cardinals a game.

Jeremy Hazell scored 23 points, including the clinching free throws with 8.1 seconds left, and Seton Hall upset No. 12 Georgetown 65-60 on Sunday. It was the Hoyas' third straight loss in a brutal conference that is quickly chewing up some of the nation's top teams.

"We're in a rut. We're in a bad situation right now," Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. "We have to figure how to get everyone in that locker room out of it. There's a lot of time left but in this league we have to quickly regroup."

That's because teams like Louisville are quickly putting them in the rearview mirror.

Earl Clark silenced a raucous crowd at the Carrier Dome with a 3-pointer with 2:06 remaining Sunday, and the ninth-ranked Cardinals held off No. 8 Syracuse 67-57 to remain unbeaten in the Big East.

Louisville (15-3, 6-0) is tied with Marquette for the conference lead, while Connecticut and Pittsburgh have one loss each. Then comes Providence, Syracuse, Villanova, West Virginia and — finally — Georgetown, all desperately trying to keep pace.

"You realize you're going to be in so many close games, so you just say, 'OK, here we go again,"' said Cardinals coach Rick Pitino. "We understand."

In other ranked games Sunday, it was: No. 4 Pitt 79, West Virginia 67; No. 7 Michigan State 78, Ohio State 67; No. 10 Clemson 73, Georgia Tech 59; No. 21 Minnesota 67, Indiana 63; and No. 24 Florida 94, Vanderbilt 69.

Big East coaches may have expected some shuffling as the heavyweights go blow-for-blow, but a perceived lightweight like Seton Hall knocking out Georgetown was unexpected.

In Newark, N.J., the Pirates (10-9, 1-6) went 0-for-13 on 3s, the first time since December 1991 that the team didn't make a single one — not that it mattered on a day when Seton Hall was celebrating the 1988-89 team that lost to Michigan in the national championship game.

Freshman Greg Monroe had 17 points to lead Georgetown (12-6, 3-4), which shot a season-low 32.7 percent. Monroe had three of the Hoyas' four field goals in the final 16:33.

In Syracuse, N.Y., Louisville won its seventh straight just eight days after handing then-No. 1 Pittsburgh its first loss of the season. Syracuse (17-4, 5-3) lost its second in a row after falling to those same Panthers last Monday.

"We just had to dig down and play great defense," said Clark, who finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.
