STANFORD, Calif. -- Reid Travis scored 15 of his 19 points in the first half and Stanford made coach Jerod Haase a winner in his home debut with a 96-69 victory over Cal State Northridge on Tuesday night.Haase, who began his college playing career at Bay Area rival Cal, came to Stanford after four seasons as coach at Alabama-Birmingham. He replaced Johnny Dawkins, who got Stanford to the NCAA Tournament just once in eight seasons.It means everything to give him a win, Travis said, especially all the work weve put in, just building that relationship with him and the coaching staff.Haase called the experience awesome.Had a blast. The thing that continues to stand out in my mind is how much I enjoy coaching these guys, he said. Theyre so willing to learn and do what we ask of them.Travis missed the final 22 games of last season with a stress fracture in his leg but has come out of the blocks fast. He had career highs of 24 points and 17 rebounds in the Cardinals opening win over Harvard on Friday in Shanghai, China.Against CSUN, the 6-foot-8 junior made 6 of 9 shots from the field and converted 7 of 10 free throws, a big improvement from his 10-for-19 effort at the foul line vs. Harvard.Travis also showed the kind of hustle Haase was known for during his playing days at Cal and Kansas when he knocked over a half-dozen seats on the baseline while scrambling for a loose ball.Its definitely what he tries to instill to us, Travis said of the hustle. Toughness is one of our standards. When we get on the court, its full speed ahead.Marcus Sheffield added 17 points, Josh Sharma scored a career-high 15 and Dorian Pickens had 14 for Stanford (2-0).CSUN coach Reggie Theus said 20 turnovers were more than his team could overcome.We did a poor job of handling the double teams early in the game. That really got us off in the wrong direction, said Theus, adding that the Matadors defense was sporadic. A lot of times when things are not going well offensively, your defense suffers. Thats the mark of a team still trying to become a good team.Kendall Smith, who grew up an hour away from the Stanford campus, scored 17 points to lead CSUN (1-2).BIG PICTURECSUN: On the heels of an encouraging performance in a 102-87 loss at No. 16 UCLA -- a game that featured 14 lead changes -- the Matadors gave the ball away 20 times and were outscored 28-5 off turnovers.Stanford: The Cardinal made the long trek back from Shanghai, where it opened its season with an 80-70 win over Harvard, and showed little travel hangover. The Cardinal led by as many as 18 points in the first half and was up 31 points with less than 8 minutes left in the game.STAT OF THE NIGHT: Stanford was last in the Pac-12 last season in both 3-point percentage (.320) and 3-pointers made (.172) and was a quiet 1-for-6 from the arc against Harvard in its opener. But the Cardinal made eight of its first 12 shots from 3-point range and finished 9-for-16 against CSUN. Six different players made at least one, led by Sheffield, who was 3 for 4.UP NEXTCSUN returns home to play Saturday against Northern Illinois, which puts its 2-0 record on the line Wednesday against Idaho before heading to California.Stanford continues its three-game, weeklong home stand Thursday against Weber State, which dropped to 1-1 after a 69-68 loss at Pepperdine on Tuesday.

Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys China . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.Carlos Sainz says he cannot spend his whole life waiting for Red Bull to promote him into the senior team.The Spaniard agreed a new contract earlier this year which will see him remain at Toro Rosso in 2017, while Red Bull have both Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen tied down to deals that run up until the end of 2018. Although Red Bull remains the target for Sainz, he admits he may have to look elsewhere to further his Formula One career if the senior team is not prepared to offer him a drive in two years.Unfortunately for me they look pretty happy with the pair they have, Sainz said. Obviously its good to have a third driver like me waiting there in case something happens, but I cannot spend my whole life being the just in case option for Red Bull.They understand this and Im convinced they know -- thats why next year is an important year for me to hopefully create a good base and move up if Red Bull is willing to take me. Obviously it would be a great pleasure, if not Im sure they will understand I cannot spend my life being the third one.Red Bull has the option to extend Sainz contract beyond next season, however Sainz expects he will have some say on his future and does not think Red Bull would try to stop him from leaving if another option became available to him.It depends obviously on them if they want to exercise that option but it will also depend on me if I also want to do another year in Toro Rosso, he said. At the end they perfectly understand I have high targets, important targets in my mind for 2018 and it will be discussed.Red Buull is tough but they normally are fair.dddddddddddd So Im pretty sure Red Bull would, unless they said they really, really need me for a Red Bull seat, which I would be very happy with, Im convinced they would be fair enough to find a solution.The Spaniard added: Like everything in life, like every contract in every Formula One driver, yes they have an option obviously they can execute whenever they want but I will play an important role and will also decide it, it will not all be about them.Sainz, who currently sits 12th in the driver standings having scored 30 points so far in 2016, hopes that Toro Rosso can provide a competitive package next year for him to be able to score strong results in order to impress Red Bull.I am pushing them, we are pushing all together, because I really want to have a competitive car next year with a competitive package, a competitive power unit, to be able to do some strong races and strong results, to be able to give first of all Red Bull a good image. I think its also good for Red Bull if Toro Rosso is higher up the grid than we are at the moment and to be able to be that fifth team.We believe we have a car that could have been able to do it this year but not the package, we will be able to have the package to be ready to fight for points next year in all races and through the whole year. A lot of people will be looking to take a step up and I would like to be at the top of that list. ' ' '
