For Akron, guard Tim Davis was the top scorer with 21 points, while forward Bill Jones added 17 points and 10 rebounds. Despite the strong efforts of these players, X was able to come out on top thanks to their depth and balanced scoring.
A See-Saw Battle
The game was close throughout, with neither team able to build a significant lead. X held a slim advantage for most of the first half, but Akron fought back to tie the game going into halftime. The second half was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams making runs and trading baskets. X was able to build a six-point lead with just over two minutes remaining, but Akron responded with a quick scoring burst to tie the game with less than a minute left.

A Bright Future for X?
With the win, X advances to the next round of the tournament and will face a tough opponent in the form of the University of Y. Despite being underdogs again, the team will no doubt be riding high after their upset victory over Akron. If they can continue to get strong performances from their key players and play with the same level of intensity and focus, they could be a dark horse to make it deep into the tournament.
