He played collegiately for the Bucknell Bison, where he is considered the program's "finest basketball player" and held the program's scoring record for 32 years.[1][a] Leslie still holds team records in field goals made and attempted, while his 45-point performance in a 1980 game against the American Eagles is the highest scoring game by a Bucknell player in the modern era.[2]
