NEW YORK, N.Y. -- It was announced at the BIG EAST Media Day at Madison Square Garden in New York on October 24 that Providence College junior forward Geoff McDermott (New Rochelle, N.Y.) was named to the 2007-08 Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. McDermott, who became the first Friar to earn All- BIG EAST Preseason honors since Ryan Gomes in 2004-05, was one of 11 players named to the squad.

It also was announced that the Friars were picked eighth of 16 teams in the league. Georgetown and Louisville were selected as co-favorites for the league crown.

McDermott is one of the most dynamic players in the BIG EAST. The junior forward was third in the league in assists (5.13 apg), ranked fourth in rebounding (9.1 rpg) and fifth in steals (1.9 spg) in 2006-07. McDermott recorded 10 double-doubles last season, including the first triple-double at PC since 1999 when he registered 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists versus Harvard on December 22, 2006. He was the first Friar ever to register more than 150 assists and more than 250 rebounds in the same season as he posted 159 assists and 283 rebounds. McDermott averaged 9.5 ppg.
