Syracuse Women's Basketball: Brittney Sykes Had Less Than A Day To Decide Her Future

Malachi Richardson declared for the NBA Draft Monday. He didn't hire an agent, so he still has until May 25 to decide whether he will go pro or return to Syracuse. Brittney Sykes didn't have that luxury.

Less than a day after losing the national championship to UConn, and just hours after returning to Syracuse from Indianapolis, Brittney Sykes got a call from Coach Quentin Hillsman, as reported by the Daily Orange's Connor Grossman.

Hillsman told Sykes she had 24 hours to decide if she would stay at Syracuse for a fifth year or enter the WNBA Draft.
