The much-anticipated battle between University of Ghana and Accra Technical University lived up to expectations with both teams thrilling fans at the Bukom Arena with exciting basketball skills.

There was also a slum dunk showdown where fans were treated with jaw-dropping slum dunks and three-point shootouts by some of the skilled athletes in the game.
