The scoreboard lit up Friday night as Cleveland State absolutely torched Michigan-Dearborn, ending the game with a dominant 103-79 win. Rayvon Griffith was an absolute force, putting up a massive 34 points for the Vikings as they moved to a 1-1 record on the season.
Griffith Set the Tone Early
Griffith wasn’t just scoring, he was everywhere, adding five rebounds to his incredible 34-point night. You know a player is locked in when they’re hitting that kind of number. But he wasn’t alone in the offensive clinic. Micah Bays put in a solid 18 points, shooting 5 of 10 from the field, including 2 for 6 from deep, and was money from the line going 6 for 8. He even dished out five assists, showing off that playmaking vision. Jordan Lowery kept the pressure on too, adding 15 points on super efficient shooting, hitting 5 of 7 from the field and a perfect 5 for 5 from the free throw line. That’s the kind of balanced attack that wins games.
Michigan-Dearborn’s Efforts Weren’t Enough
Michigan-Dearborn definitely had some players show up, trying to keep pace with Cleveland State’s offensive explosion. Nick Sobush led the Wolverines with 22 points and snagged three steals, proving he was a threat on both ends. Jackson Reynolds contributed a strong 21 points, and Terrance Hicks chipped in with 20 points. Three guys over 20 points? That’s usually a recipe for a closer game, but Cleveland State’s 103 points were just too much to handle. You gotta respect the fight, but sometimes a team just catches fire.
Cleveland State is back on the road this Monday, taking on Bowling Green. After dropping 103 points and seeing Rayvon Griffith light up the scoreboard like that, you know they’ll be bringing that high-octane offense. It’ll be a real test to see if they can maintain that kind of firepower away from home and keep building on this early season momentum.
