EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- No. 15 Seton Hall beat No. 25 Notre Dame 78-76 Monday, ending a two-day stretch that included a loss to Georgetown and a one-game suspension for freshman star Eddie Griffin and fellow forward Kevin Wilkins after a locker-room fight.

"Certainly it's been a trying few days for all of us and the program," Seton Hall coach Tommy Amaker said.

Darius Lane's 22 points led the Pirates and freshman Andre Barrett had 20, including a three-pointer with 3:11 left gave Seton Hall the lead for good, 75-73.
