The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team may be losing one of its star players, but another says he will be back next year for another run at an NCAA championship. Small forward Kris Joseph, a starter on this year’s squad and a third team all-Big East selection, tells CNY Central’s Alex Dunbar and John Evenson that he will return for his senior year. He told CNY Central that he plans to come back for one more shot at a title, and be the leader of the team in 2011-12.
