STANFORD, Calif. -- Dorian Pickens scored 17 points and Stanford beat Colorado State 56-49 on Sunday in a matchup of two teams still trying to figure out how to consistently score.They certainly did a great job playing a very compact defense, but we also made some mistakes, said first-year Stanford coach Jerod Haase, whose team improved to 4-0 but had its lowest point total of the season.We didnt capitalize on certain things. We need to make a few more open shots. The biggest thing is we need to get the ball inside.Pickens made 4 of 6 from 3-point range, but was the only player on either team to shoot with success from the perimeter. Pickens teammates were a combined 1-for-12 and the Rams were 5-for-18.Stanford, which won its third home game in a span of six days, also got 11 points from Reid Travis. But the junior forward, who averaged 21.7 points through the Cardinals first three games, managed just five shot attempts against a collapsing CSU defense.They made it tough for us to get the ball inside, Stanford point guard Robert Cartwright said. Its a great opportunity for us to grow. We havent really been challenged this way. We have to find ways to win and we did that.The Rams (2-1) hadnt been held under 50 points since a 56-43 loss to San Diego State on March 13, 2015.Colorado State coach Larry Eustachy played a young lineup that included as many as three sophomores and a freshman at times.We expect this is going to be a time when were going to learn. Its as good a defensive team as Ive had in a long time for such young kids, Eustachy said. They werent more physical than us. I thought we tried really hard. You just cant overcome 20 turnovers.Prentiss Nixon led Colorado State with 15 points. Braden Koelliker, who averaged 14.5 points in the teams first two games, was scoreless.We were close against a very good Stanford team, Eustachy said. Im not sure our guys believed we could beat them, and I thought we could. Well get it right.BIG PICTUREStanford: The Cardinal is 4-0 under first-year head coach Jerod Haase, although early success is not necessarily indicative of long-terms results. Previous coach Johnny Dawkins started 10-0 in his debut season of 2008-09 (including a win over Colorado State) before the Cardinal lost 90-60 to Arizona State in its Pac-10 opener. Stanford wound up finishing ninth in the conference.Colorado State: The Rams need to shoot the ball better. They converted just 38 percent from the field -- including 6 for 33 from the 3-point arc -- in their first two games. They were worse against a stronger Stanford defense, making just 29.8 percent (14-for-47).UP NEXT:Stanford, having concluded a three-game homestand, treks east to play in the AdvoCare Invitational in Orlando, Florida, where it opens the three-day event against Miami (3-0), which averaged nearly 87 points in three easy victories.Colorado State returns home for a Wednesday night matchup vs. Maryland-Eastern Shore (0-4), which comes off a 116-79 loss at Wichita State and will play its fourth game in five on the road.Ray Nitschke Super Bowl Jersey .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later.

Custom Packers Super Bowl Jerseys . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book.TORONTO -- Somewhere in Germany, a young girl is waiting patiently for the World Cup of Hockey to end. Christian Ehrhoffs oldest daughter is, of course, hoping the best for her father and the rest of Team Europe as they try to solve the mighty puzzle that is Team Canada in the tourney finals.But more than that, the Ehrhoff family, which includes 7-year-old Leni and her two younger sisters, is waiting to see what happens next once the Team Europe jerseys are packed away.Will the phone ring?Who will be on the other end?What will the school look like in the city of the NHL GM who makes that call because he has been suitably impressed by Ehrhoffs play?Last year, Leni Ehrhoff started school in Germany but transferred to Los Angeles when the veteran defenseman signed late in the offseason with the Kings. She then attended classes briefly in Chicago, after Ehrhoff was dealt to the Blackhawks at the trade deadline, before finishing up the school year back in Germany.It is part of the business, to be sure, but in the midst of this tournament Ehrhoff finds himself in the unique, if not unnerving, position of basically auditioning on the world stage for 30 NHL teams as an unrestricted free agent.Team Europe teammate and German countryman Dennis Seidenberg was in the same boat entering the tournament, and he discussed his situation Wednesday afternoon.I think some days are easier than others, but for the most part you just try to focus on your game, and thats all you can do and should do because otherwise you just mess yourself up and make it hard on yourself, said Seidenberg, whose family is in Boston, where hes been playing since he was traded to the Bruins during the 2009-10 season.Still, Seidenberg said he never considered skipping this tournament while his future was uncertain.It was no question in my mind I was going to be here, whether I had a contract orr not, he said.ddddddddddddIts a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play against all those teams, the best teams in the world, and its been a lot of fun so far.Literally minutes after Seidenberg finished his interview and left the media room, it was revealed that hed agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Islanders.So that leaves Ehrhoff, a 34-year-old native of Moers, Germany.According to a source, two Eastern Conference teams and one Western Conference team have ramped up their interest in the puck-moving defenseman, who has three assists and is averaging 13:56 in ice time per night for Team Europe.Once the tournament is over Im going to talk to my agent, and were going to figure out the next step then, Ehrhoff said Wednesday as the team prepares for a must-win game Thursday night in Game 2 of the best-of-three finals against undefeated Canada, which won Game 1 on Tuesday, 3-1. Game 3, if necessary, is scheduled for Saturday.Right now my focus is solely on Team Europe, Ehrhoff said.Both Ehrhoff and Seidenberg played at an Olympic qualifying tournament about a month ago, where they helped Germany qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, before joining their new hockey brethren at the World Cup.While the tournament has unfolded, NHL training camps have opened and exhibition games have been played. Lineups are being formed.Still, Ehrhoff insists he isnt fretting about what might happen after the last World Cup game is played.No, not really, because I feel like Im in good shape right now so I already have an advantage in that kind of way, Ehrhoff said. Like I said, Im not in any kind of hurry. Im focused on Team Europe right now, and well take care of the rest once the tournament is done, hopefully Saturday. ' ' '
