Oakland gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They walked away with a 75-65 victory over the Mastodons. 75 seems to be a good number for Oakland as the team scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.

Clev. State's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Chase Robinson, who scored 20 points. Robinson didn't help Clev. State's cause all that much against IUPUI on Tuesday but the same can't be said for this match. Another player making a difference was Tevin Smith, who scored 15 points along with six rebounds and two blocks.

The Golden Grizzlies are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 21-11 record this season. As for the Vikings, their win bumped their record up to 20-13.
