Leaky Black responds to viral blunder at end of UNC game
Leaky Black responded on social media Saturday after his blunder against Baylor went viral.
Black’s North Carolina Tar Heels beat Baylor 93-86 in overtime in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. His Heels were leading 91-85 with just under a minute left in overtime. Black picked up his dribble just past halfcourt and was being trapped, so he needed to find a teammate for a pass. He saw one open under the basket, but his aim was pretty bad. The pass went so high that it hit off the backboard.

That was ugly.
Black later joked about the play on his Instagram Story.

“We not gone (sic) talk about that 1 off the back board,” he wrote.
Black added a few laughing emojis, indicating he was having fun with the situation.
It’s much easier to have some fun when your team wins, as Black’s Heels did.
North Carolina was underseeded as an 8 and has been performing well. They will meet UCLA in the Sweet 16 in Philadelphia next week.
