Newark, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Sterling Gibbs poured in 25 points to lead five Seton Hall players in double figures, as the Pirates opened Big East play with a 78-67 victory over 15th-ranked St. Johns on Wednesday at the Prudential Center. Jaren Sina matched a season high with 14 points and keyed an early second-half run with two of his four 3-pointers in the victory. Gibbs also sank five from beyond the arc, including one with the shot clock winding down late in the contest to help quell a St. Johns rally. Angel Delgado and Brandon Mobley each contributed 13 points for the Pirates (11-2, 1-0 Big East), whose lone losses have come on the road against Georgia and nationally ranked Wichita State.

DAngelo Harrison scored 25 points and Phil Greene IV added 15 for the Red Storm (11-2, 0-1), who had a seven-game winning streak stopped and lost for the first time since a 73-66 setback to Gonzaga in late November. St. Johns whittled a 14-point deficit with 10 minutes remaining to two in just under five minutes. Greene hit a couple of threes to fuel the comeback and a pair of free throws by Harrison after a technical foul against Khadeen Carrington made it a 65-63 game. The Red Storm could not take full advantage of the technical and didnt score on the ensuing possession, allowing Seton Hall to create some separation. Gibbs fed Delgado for a layup, then connected from beyond the arc with his team scrambling as the shot clock neared zero, giving the Pirates a 70-63 lead. Harrison followed with a layup for St. Johns and the Red Storm had a couple of opportunities to cut the deficit further, but came away empty before Seton Hall sealed the contest with an uncontested layup from Gibbs and six straight free throws to establish a 13-point margin with just over a minute left. St. Johns scored the first five points and opened a 13-7 lead, but Seton Hall answered with six straight to tie it. The Red Storm again opened a six-point margin at 23-17, but the Pirates roared back with six in a row to again forge a tie. Seton Hall used an 8-0 run at the conclusion of the first half to grab its first lead of the contest. A 3-pointer by Sina gave the Pirates a 37-35 edge and Gibbs drilled another shot from beyond the arc in the closing seconds to send the Hall to the break with a 40-35 advantage. St. Johns was still within four early in the second half, but Seton Hall opened some breathing room with a 13-3 run. Sina hit a pair from beyond the arc during the surge, the second giving the Pirates a 58-44 cushion with just over 10 minutes to play. Another Sina trey a couple of minutes later stemmed a brief St. Johns spurt and gave the Pirates a 61-50 edge. Game Notes Carrington scored 11 to round out Seton Halls double-figure scorers ...

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- FIFA has acknowledged being embarrassed by a security lapse that let ticketless Chile fans rampage into the Maracana Stadium. Fences have been breached by fans at both World Cup matches staged at the countrys biggest and most prestigious stadium which hosts the final on July 13. "It is embarrassing," FIFA director of security Ralf Mutschke said Thursday, one day after 88 ticketless Chile fans broke into the sold-out venue ahead of their teams 2-0 win against Spain. Mutschke said security operations at the World Cup must "improve in order that this will not happen again." Brazilian authorities said the fans were detained after smashing their way through a perimeter wire fence into the stadium media centre. Fans stampeded through the media working area, knocking down partition walls while trying to gain access to the pitch area. They were detained by some of the 1,000-plus private security officers on match duty. "We have to protect the media, theres no doubt about it -- we also have to protect the (other) fans," Mutschke said at a news briefing to address the incident. Chiles consul general in Rio, Samuel Ossa, told reporters that the fans will be arrested if they do not leave Brazil within 72 hours and would likely have to spend time in jail while Brazilian authorities go through a process to deport them. The total number of those detained and released was 90 because a Bolivian and a Colombian were with the group of Chileans, he said. "Theyre getting off easy," Ossa said. "They were not criminals. They are people who overstepped their passion and made a mistake and have to pay for it." But the president of Chiles football federation -- which could be disciplined by FIFA over the incident -- said the Chileans fans who invaded the stadium could face sanctions after they get home. "The large majority of Chilean faans show excellent, exemplary behaviour that was marred by .dddddddddddd.. so-called fans," Sergio Jadue said Thursday at the teams training camp near Belo Horizonte. "We dont want these kinds of people at our fields." Four days earlier, at least 10 Argentina fans were detained in Rio after jumping fences to try to see their team play last Sunday in another sold-out match against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Chilean fan Luis Galvez said his group of friends without tickets got past four security lines until being stopped outside the stadium. "There were a lot of rumours going around that it was easy to get in," said Galvez, a 29-year-old physical therapist. He described the break-in as an embarrassment. "Its one thing to try and get in without a ticket and quite another to get in a fight with security and start destroying things," he said. FIFA and the local organizing committee plan to announce improved security measures Friday. "Operational procedures are being reassessed and definitely you will see a difference in the next event," Hilario Medeiros, security manager for Brazilian organizers, said through a translator. The Maracana hosts Belgium vs. Russia on Sunday, the third of seven matches there. Security issues have been an issue at other World Cup venues, with stadium staff failing to arrive for work in Brasilia last Sunday and on Tuesday in Fortaleza, where Brazil played Mexico. Medeiros said the Maracana was fully staffed Wednesday with 1,037 security workers. "We knew that this was a high risk operation," Medeiros said. Mutschke said other aspects of the security plan worked well at the airport-style security checks. "There was a lot of butterfly knives seized by mag and bag. There was tables full of pyrotechnics and firecrackers," Mutschke said. "The stewards did a good job despite the incident."
