HONOLULU -- As good as Angel Delgado was on offense in Seton Halls 60-57 win over California Wednesday, he knew the game would be decided on defense.Delgado recorded his third straight double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds and Seton Hall did just enough defensively to escape with two wins in as many days at the Pearl Harbor Invitational.After withstanding Californias 52 percent shooting from the field in the first half, the Pirates (7-2) turned the tables in the second by holding the Bears (7-2) to 35.7 percent.I told the guys that we had to get stops. Theyre going to score, because theyre a really good team, but we had to get stops because thats how you win the game, said Delgado, who pulled down a pivotal defensive rebound in the closing seconds.Delgado, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward, made 6 of 9 shots from the field in a game-high 36 minutes played. It was his fifth double-double of the season and 28th of his career.Hes a big, physical player, California coach Cuonzo Martin said. He posts up strong, he posts up deep, he knows how to use his body, he knows where he wants to get offensively and I thought he did a great job really establishing himself in the post, getting to the free-throw line, getting offensive rebounds, so overall I thought he played a good game.Desi Rodriguez scored 15 points and Khadeen Carrington had 14 points with four assists for the Pirates.Carrington tied it at 45 with just under 12 minutes to play on a 3-pointer from the right wing, which ignited a 7-0 Seton Hall run. California never regained the lead.Ivan Rabbs putback pulled the Golden Bears within 58-57 with 31.1 seconds remaining, but Carrington and Delgado each hit a free throw to extend the Pirates lead to 60-57 with 2.7 seconds left.Jabari Bird had a chance to send it into overtime, but his 3-pointer from about 25 feet as time expired was no good.Bird came off the bench to lead California with 22 points and nine rebounds.California closed out the first half with an 11-4 run to turn a four-point deficit into a 34-31 lead.It was just the second meeting between the teams with California winning 81-76 on Dec. 8, 1973.BIG PICTURECalifornia: Rabb, a 6-11 sophomore, struggled for the second consecutive game. He made just 3 of his 8 shots from the field and finished with eight points after being held to a season-low six points against Princeton Tuesday. Rabb, who has been playing with a left wrist injury, entered Wednesdays game averaging 17.5 points per game.Seton Hall: The Pirates reeled off their third straight win despite making just 9 of their 20 attempts (45 percent) from the free-throw line. They shot just 46.6 percent (21 of 45) on free throws for the two-day tournament.HIGHLIGHT REELThe teams exchanged thunderous dunks within a 10-second span with about four minutes left in the game. Rodriguez threw down a left-handed windmill jam for Seton Hall before Bird outraced the Pirates defense for a transition dunk of his own that drew loud cheers from the crowd of about 2,000 spectators that was mostly made up of military service men and women.HE SAID ITI dont think anything is going to make that plane ride feel any shorter besides Ambien, Willard said of the nearly 5,000-mile return trip from Honolulu to New Jersey.DAY OF REMEMBERANCEWednesday was the 75th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, which marked the beginning of World War II.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Alabamas defense has changed with the times.The top-ranked Crimson Tide still has 300-pounders clogging the line of scrimmage, but nowadays the biggest stars are the hard-to-block pass rushers like Jonathan Allen, mobile linebacker Reuben Foster and cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick.Its a group tailor made for stopping all those hurry-up, spread-you-out offenses pervading college football while still defending the run as well as any team in the nation. Alabama has an open date to prepare for a different kind of test: Leonard Fournette and No. 19 LSUs formidable running game next weekend in Baton Rouge.Thats one of the things that were going to have to do a good job of because we probably dont have as many big guys as weve had in the past, because we were built in the past for teams like LSU who were I-formation, run downhill, very physical offensive line, Tide coach Nick Saban said. Were going to have to do a really good job with our guys up front. I think weve got some guys that can hang in there and play that type of game.They certainly did last season when Alabama held Fournette to 31 yards.The Tide has hardly gone soft -- or small -- since the days when hulking Terrence Cody was monopolizing multiple blockers. But Saban & Co. have loaded up with speedy edge rushers like Allen and Tim Williams along with the beef.Alabama still leads the nation in run defense, giving up 70 yards a game and only three touchdowns all season. Opposing runners are averaging a paltry 2.2 yards per carry.The difference: The Tide is also tops with 32 sacks and nine defensive touchdowns in eight games. If Alabama lacks last seasons abundance of 300-pounders, thats mostly because defensive tackles Jarran Reed and AShawn Robinson moved on to the NFL as second-round draft picks.DaRon Payne and Dalvin Tomlinson supply plenty of muscle on the line while the 291-pound Allen has made a succession of big plays, including six sacks, two fumble returns for touchdowns and an airborne sack of Texas A&Ms Trevor Knight.ddddddddddddLosing J. Reed and AShawn, you didnt really know how we were going to be on the D-line, Tide cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. Those guys just havent really lost any slack. If anything theyve gotten better. Thats whats been the big surprise to me.Allen has been even more productive since returning for his senior season instead of entering the draft. Pro Football Focus gives him the highest rush grade of any interior defensive lineman while Foster gets the top grade overall among linebackers. PFF says Foster has missed only two tackles.Allen has even been drawing some buzz as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate. Not even his coach likes the chances of any defensive lineman to claim that trophy.I hope he does get considered and I think he would be a great candidate for it, Saban said.Allen is just one of several productive quarterback chasers on the Tide defense. Linebackers Williams (6.5 sacks) and Ryan Anderson (4.5 sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss) have also wreaked havoc in opposing backfields.Now, the challenge will be to contain Fournette, whos coming off a 284-yard, three-touchdown performance against Mississippi.No running back has gained more against Alabama than the 62 yards of Texas A&Ms Keith Ford. The Tide held Tennessees Jalen Hurd to 28 yards and the Aggies Trayveon Williams to 23 yards.Now, the Tide gets its turn at Fournette and backfield mate Derrius Guice.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
