The CSU Rams’ conference championship hopes are no longer in their hands.

CSU scored on its first drive to take a 7-0 lead but didn’t score again until after Fresno State built a 28-7 by the end of the first half.

After an NBA Cup loss in Denver, the Nuggets bounced back Saturday by dominating the second half en route to a 127-102 win over the Lakers to split their weekend back-to-back.

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Colorado Avalanche showed off its sublime collection of skill, increased depth and ability to play beautiful hockey against the defending Stanley Cup champions on Saturday night. Some of the Avs’ early-season flaws were also on display at Amerant Arena. In the end, Colorado needed a great third period from its goaltender and contributions from nearly the entire lineup to collect a 7-4 win against the Florida Panthers. It didn’t always look great, but the Avs have won seven of their last nine games and 12 of 17 since an 0-4 start. “I think we’re pretty happy with the lineup we’re playing now,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said.
