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.

Triple jumper Renjith Maheshwari, sprinter Dharambir Singh, and Jinson Johnson became the latest Indian athletes to qualify for the Rio Olympics. Maheswari and Dharambir set new national records in their respective events on the concluding day of the Grand Prix in Bengaluru on Monday, while middle distance runner Johnson qualified for the mens 800m event after clocking 1:45.98.With 38 (20 men + 18 women)?athletes qualifying till July 11, the cut-off date for entry, this will be the countrys largest-ever track and field Olympic contingent.Maheshwari, who will be making his third straight Olympic appearance, made the Rio cut with a leap of 16.93m in his third attempt, the qualifying norm being 16.85m. Egged on by a raucous bunch of spectators, he took his performance several notches higher, with a jump of 17.30 in his final attempt to shatter the existing national record of 17.17 set by Arpinder Singh at the 2014 National Inter-State meet in Lucknow. This, incidentally, is the first time in six years that Renjith has breached the 17m mark. His last 17m showing being at the Commonwealth Games 2010 with a leap of 17.07.Though I was under pressure, I was confident of qualifying for the Olympics. I havent been participating in too many competitions and there were minor flaws in my technique which I have been working on. In the run-up to the Olympics, I think I need to train abroad, said Renjith, who recovered from a lower abdomen injury only two weeks before the Inter-State meet earlier this month in Hyderabad.His previous two Olympic performances, however, have been far from encouraging, with three consecutivee fouls at the London Games and a 35th place finish in Beijing in 2008.ddddddddddddharambir, clocked 20.45s, bettering the national record of 20.66s to become the first Indian athlete since Perumal Subramaniam at the 1980 Moscow Olympics to qualify for the mens 200m event. The qualification norm for the event was set at 20.50s. Dharambir was slapped with a two-year suspension for evading a dope test in 2012.Putting up a creditable show, the second-best by an Indian male athlete since Sri Ram Singhs 1:45.77 show in the 800m at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, Jinson said he came within touching distance of qualifying at the inter-state meet in Hyderabad with a timing of 1:46.43 earlier this month. The Olympic qualifying standard for the event is set at 1:46.00. A steady but notable improvement in his performance over the last two years - 1:47.80 in 2014 and 1:47.56 in 2015 - also paid off.I was mindful of Srirams show and glad that I could dip below 1:46 today. The weather and track also helped, said Jinson, who won all three legs of the Asian Grand Prix in Thailand last year. The last Indian athlete to qualify for the mens 800 event was Charles Borromeo at the Moscow Olympics in 1984.Promising female long jumper V Neena leaped 6.66m, falling short of the Olympic qualifying standard of 6.70m by four cms.
