Seton Hall center Angel Delgado became the fifth player to post a 20-point, 20-rebound game over the last 40 NCAA tournaments with his monster effort Saturday against Kansas.

The senior was a destructive force against the Jayhawks, finishing with 24 points and a career-high 23 boards. He joined Tyler Zeller, Tim Duncan, Joe Smith, and Hakeem Olajuwon as players with a 20-20 game in the NCAA tournament over the last four decades.

As admirable as the performance was, it wasn't enough to carry the eighth-seeded Pirates past the No. 1 Jayhawks. Seton Hall fell 83-79, bringing Delgado's college career to a memorable end.
