UNC forward, Leaky Black talks about scoring 18 points against Wake Forest on Wednesday night in Chapel Hill.
it was huge, you know, uh you know, the head of the snake over there for us to get him settled down a little bit was obviously huge for us to get that. Um you know, just the last game, you know, obviously, you know, we're just tired, you know, people just having career nights against us, everyone having their best nights against north Carolina, you know, we're just, we're just tired of that, so we just gotta draw the line, you know, we keep saying that, but it's really time for us to draw the line and start getting things turn around. Yeah, take that personal because, you know, we all watch the NBA draft, you know, we would hate to see us on the clips, you know, come draft night, so it's just something to take pride in, you know, just just gotta, just something we really need to take pride in, not necessarily before the, you know, I feel like I put the team first regardless, you know, I just want to win, I don't care, you know, I scored zero points, so I really don't care. I just want to win at the end of the day and you know, uh not going to go back on last game, but, you know, I feel like I wasn't really, I haven't really been a defensive player, you know, that I was last year, you know, and um I just really need to take pride in that and uh I feel like that'll help this team, you know, I met with coach Davis about that, getting my feedback and, you know, staying healthy, you know, being able to play the full game and not having these mental lapses on defense, you know, to help our team, you know, be the best thing that we can be my hardest. Um just taking away the three, you know, um we, you know, try to get tired, slow down, you know, he's really looking to facilitate more than anything and you know, close to the three, we had to go to the three. Well model had a big task with the live threats and uh you know, it's just it's being solid, you know, just being physical defensively, that's how we started working on, it's huge. You know, obviously until we figure out how to string some of these road games along, you know, obviously he's playing at home is is big, you know, up to the crowd man, they really they really showed up tonight really helped us out, but I don't think any of you guys, yeah, I'm not I'm not surprised at all. You know, he does that all the time in practice and I mean he's going up against R. J. And Caleb and he's still doing the same thing in practice so obviously he can do it out there. It's just a matter of just experience and time out there and it's a mindset, you know, him getting comfortable enough to do it out there and he stepped up big, hopefully we can keep it going. I don't want them to like, don't tell me that, I don't want to, every time I make a shot, they call me step, it's like, it's like, stop, I can't make one shot. And also, like, come on, but I'm the type of team we gotta make a few shots. Was there one in particular that might have an attack mindset in the first half? I mean, honestly, it's just uh I'm not even sure what it was, I was just, I really believe it or not, I've been doing that in Prague, it's, you know, since I've been here and it's just haven't been, it hasn't been shown in the games, you know, it's always it's always been there. It's just a matter of just going out and doing it just playing free. You know, I feel like I hit one in the corner was kind of contested and after that I knew I had that, I would always believe, I appreciate what you have been mad about just the performance of the team overall. Yeah, absolutely. Because I mean, personally, I don't feel like the dude scored 30 on me, but I mean, at the end of the day, he scored 30, so, you know, I take part in that and it's like, you know, I'm gonna have all these NIL deals, Lockdown, Leaky Blah, Blah Blah, you know, and I feel like I didn't deserve to be in the media, I didn't deserve to do any of the interviews. I mean, it's just a matter of stepping up and, you know, holding up my end of the deal and playing the way like a black needs to play.
