As a senior, Black became one of the top defensive players in the
ACC, earning conference all-defensive team honors at the close of the regular season. Leaky Black was a part of a Tar Heel starting lineup that each averaged big minutes and led the eighth-seeded Tar Heels to an unexpected Final Four berth in the
2022 NCAA tournament. In the semifinal against rival
Duke, Black held Duke freshman
AJ Griffin to 1–7 shooting for 6 points to help secure the win.
Leaky Black is from Concord, NC. He feels blessed to play for the Charlotte Hornets.
