WATCH: Leaky Black throws down big dunk against FSU late
The North Carolina Tar Heels opened up the first half against Florida State with a big offensive performance. UNC made 11 three-pointers to jump out to a 43-25 lead.
It’s a game the Tar Heels had to have ahead of Saturday’s rematch against Duke. And while the Tar Heels were ahead comfortably in the first half, Florida State made a run in the second half and cut the lead down to 66-62 late.
But then Leaky Black delivered when the Tar Heels needed a bucket the most.
Black made a nice move and drove the lane to finish the play off with a big two-handed slam. He threw it down with authority:
OH MY, LEAKY BLACK!! 😳@UNC_Basketball | #ACCMBB

Black appeared to let out some frustrations on that dunk and it came in a big moment for the Tar Heels. The offense really struggled to score in the second half and were seeing the Seminoles make a big run.

That's the biggest dunk both in physicality and meaning in Leaky Black's 5-year #Unclehowdy career.

That dunk should remind you, Leaky Black has been really solid for the last 5 weeks or so for #UNC. Stats, Shooting, Confidence, and Defense. Really happy for him. pic.twitter.com/rPJ0JyIkxW

100 some odd games into his career, Leaky Black finally does what everyone’s expected since he walked on campus. That was impressive.
