13 points in scrimmage Akok had 13 points in a scrimmage against Temple, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Impact Akok has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but when on the floor the talent is apparent. His best statistical season came as a freshman in 2019-20 when he averaged 5.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per contest. Akok is a force in the paint on defense and can also stretch the floor on offense. Now fully healthy from a foot and Achilles injury, Akok should be a big impact player for a Hoyas team hoping to rebound in 2022-23.
