In the second half, Danilo Jovanovich made a three-point jumper, followed by a series of free throws from Ognjen Stankovic and Stevie Elam, which helped extend Akron's lead. Chabi Barre and Seth Hubbard also contributed key baskets, including a layup from Hubbard that kept the momentum firmly in Akron's favor.

As the game progressed, Akron's lead grew, and they maintained control throughout, ultimately finishing with a final score of 105-81. This victory not only boosts Akron's confidence but also highlights their offensive capabilities, making them a team to watch in upcoming fixtures.
