When this game was at its bleakest (12-ish minutes left, UNC down 10), I said in our Tar Heel Blog staff Slack chat that most of the players that were around last season seemed to have an “ah crap, it’s happening again” vibe. I said most, because Leaky Black didn’t really.
While his season hasn’t been flawless, Black’s been one of few bright spots of late. He hit the game-winner against Notre Dame. He was one of few players who was even remotely looked okay against Georgia Tech. Against Miami, he continued that with maybe the best and most important performance of his Tar Heel career, helping them to a 67-65 win.
