The Legon based University won the title thanks to a 46-31 win over All Nations University College in the deciding game with a 15 point margin.
All Nations had its moments in the contest when Radford eased off after holding a 30-16 first half lead and good plays from hard driving Forward Philip Barley.
Unlike its previous contest against Koforidua Technical University, All Nations bigs Muhtar Hafiz and Aziz Mutawakil were no match for Radford’s bruising Center Mubarak Alhassan who dominated the boards again.
