When Malachi had the great game in the first round, I heard a few rumblings that he might bolt.  I love the kid and the heart he has played with this season, but frankly he's always come across as the type of kid who is a little higher on himself than he should be (and would thus not surprise me if he left earlier than he should).  After his great game in the first round, I turned to my dad and said "A few more great games like that on the national stage and I could see him bolting."  We then discussed how far Syracuse would have to go in the tournament to make it worth it (for the program and for us as fans) if we were going to lose Malachi.  For me, it was the Final Four.  But now that we're here, I want to have my cake and eat it too.

His dud games in the last few rounds seemed to keep him from getting too much attention on the national radar, but after last night, I'll be interested to see what kind of exposure he gets.  It's silly to me, but 1 great game on a big stage can make an outsized difference in draft stock (See Flynn, Jonny in 6OT game).  I'm trying my best to enjoy this season and this improbable run, but I can't help but think of how much fun it would be to watch Malachi again next year.  I'm surprised I haven't seen any talk on the board of him leaving.  Can someone talk me down from the ledge?
