SU Athletics Assistant Communications Director Pete Moore confirmed to me late Friday night that Kris Joseph is indeed available to play against Villanova on Saturday.

Whether he plays, of course, is up to Coach Boeheim. The game with Villanova is set for a noon tip-off.

Joseph landed hard on his head while driving to the hoop against Cincinnati on January 15th. He left that game and did not return, he also missed SU's game at Pittsburgh on the 17th.

Joseph leads the Orange in scoring, averaging over 14 points per game.
