Maybe it was a bit of prognostication, or maybe just luck. but during Pat Garrity's freshman year, one Notre Dame fan raised a homemade poster high into the air declar­ ing Garrity the 1998 Big East Player of the Year. It wasn't as if the fan was go­ ing out on a limb. Early in his career, fans and experts alike witnessed the flair with which he played. The fluid movement with or without the ball. His smooth shooting stroke. An ability to execute in the clutch. Three years later. Garrity is ahead of schedule, possibly on track to becoming the 1997 Big East Player of the Year. Following a 22 point perfor­ mance in Notre Dame's 73-58 win over Syracuse last Saturday, the native of Monument, Co. is in a heated battle with Georgetown's Victor Page for the Big East scoring lead. Garrity and the Irish will take to the Joyce Center court tonight against Seton Ilall, seeking consecutive Big East wins for the first time since Notre Dame joined the confer­ ence last year.
