JB Has Strong Thoughts on Mark Cuban, Recruits and More (PS; Domin)
Jim Boeheim was the first guest on Brent Axe's new show "On the Block" on ESPN Radio this afternoon.
The Syracuse basketball coach addressed many topics, include recruiting and his new book. But perhaps what stuck out most were his thoughts on Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Boeheim was on ESPN's "Mike and Mike" earlier Monday and talked about the Paul George's gruesome leg injury. George was hurt during a Team USA scrimmage in Las Vegas, and Boeheim, an assistant for the team, had a front-row seat.

Duke Helps Itself with Its Schedule (PS; Stevens)
One of the surest things in college basketball is Duke will be really, really good. Coach Mike Krzyzewski's program hasn't missed the NCAA tournament since 1995, and it has earned a No. 3 seed or better in all but one season since 1997.
Also high on the list of certainties is the Blue Devils will schedule shrewdly. Last year marked the 11th consecutive season Duke faced a top-50 nonconference schedule. Granted, Coach K has the luxury of playing just about whomever he wants, whenever and wherever he wants, and trips to New York and New Jersey can feel like de facto home games for the Blue Devils. But it's still a program that makes good decisions while filling in its open dates in November and December.

Kris Joseph to Play in France This Season (PS; Ditota)
Kris Joseph is headed back to France.
The former Syracuse University forward, who played last season for Chalon, is moving to Dijon to play this season, he confirmed in a direct message.
Joseph averaged 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists for Chalon, which finished eighth (of 16 teams) in France's highest pro league and made the playoffs. He shot 53 percent overall and 36 percent from the 3-point arc.
Dijon plays in the same French Pro A league, but also competes in the Eurocup, where Joseph will occasionally match up against former teammate Brandon Triche, who plays for Rome.
