Paul Okon reckons Brisbane Roar are a complete team and has warned his Central Coast Mariners not to stumble into their trap in Sundays A-League encounter in Gosford. Nike Dunk Wholesale China .Okon hailed the Roar as the competitions best team at forcing opposition turnovers, putting his troops on high alert as they aim to snap out of a disappointing two-game losing run.Renowned for their previous success with a high-possession style, Brisbane coach John Aloisis tweaked gameplan means theyve been happy to give up control of the ball on occasion this season, backing their ability to win the ball back in good areas to generate attacking chances instead.Melbourne City coach John van t Schip criticised the Roar earlier this month for parking the bus but Okon sees it differently.Theyre a complete team. Theyre very good when they have the ball and when they dont. I just think the Roar defend very well from the front, Okon told AAP.It may look like a transition because they win the ball higher up the field and then, bang - I dont think its a typical (counter-attacking style), drop off at halfway, win the ball in your own half.The Roars probably the best team in the competition at defending higher up the field.Unbeaten in their last five and coming off a 4-0 rout over Adelaide United, the Roar won 1-0 earlier this season to extend a six-game winning streak over the Mariners.Aloisi was adamant his team didnt discuss streaks but acknowledged their last loss - a round-two 4-0 thumping by Newcastle - was a turning point that showed the Roars strong character.For that reason he said complacency would never again be an issue, especially against a Mariners side keen to rebound from two heavy losses to Wellington and Western Sydney.Theyre playing at home and theyll want to win for their supporters, Aloisi said.Theyve got dangerous players going forward, and they like to keep the ball and tire you out.Okon is desperate for revenge over Aloisi, his former Socceroo teammate and good friend.The pairs playing careers followed similar trajectories - both left Australia at a young age for Belgium, played in Italy and England, featured regularly for the Socceroos throughout the 1990s and enjoyed swansongs in the A-League.I roomed a few times with Johnny, played against him in Belgium. Weve known each other since we were young teenagers, and Ross also, Okon said.Theres a big respect there. Theres always a laugh, thats how its always been - although I know Johnnys very intense and serious these days, now hes a coach.You always want to beat a mate of yours.STATS THAT MATTER* Central Coast have made more passes than any other team and boast the second-best passing accuracy (80.3%) behind Melbourne City (80.5%)* Brisbane have conceded just two first-half goals overall, the fewest of any team, while no team has conceded more than the Mariners (11)* The Roar kept a clean sheet in each of their last three visits to Central Coast Stadium Nike Dunks For Sale Online . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

The Jayhawks and Cyclones are now prepping for their season finales this weekend, while the Sooners and Cowboys get a break before settling the Big 12 title on Dec. 3.Its definitely huge for us, the reality of starting new and building a foundation, said first-year Iowa State coach Matt Campbell, whose team has won consecutive Big 12 games. Weve been learning the whole season. I think you saw our team get better as the season has gone. Were learning how to practice, were learning how to prepare, were learning what detail looks like.The Cyclones (3-8, 2-6 Big 12) overwhelmed Texas Tech 66-10 on Saturday, a week after beating Kansas (2-9, 1-7), which then snapped a 19-game conference losing streak with a 24-21 overtime victory at home over Texas.Iowa State wraps up its season at home Saturday against No. 19 West Virginia . Kansas plays the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State after its first conference win in Beatys two seasons .It changes the dynamic greatly for us, Beaty said Monday during the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference.

That stretch ended when the Jayhawks, on way to an 11-0 start and eventual Orange Bowl victory, beat Iowa State on the third Saturday that month.Since 2006, either Kansas or Iowa State has been the last-place finisher in the Big 12 -- in the North Division through 2010 when the league was still 12 teams, then in a 10-team league without divisions since 2011.Beaty was asked how soon he will know if the upset of Texas is indeed a turning point for the Jayhawks.Thats something that will take a little bit of time. ... I certainly think that will be one that we will always go back to and draw upon, he saiid. Cheap Nike Dunks For Sale.

So is big-play receiver Dede Westbrook. So which one would get a vote from Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops?I cant be the guy to choose between my two children, Stoops said.DIFFERENT VIEWOklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said every coach he has spoken with agrees with him about the difference in right and wrong and what happened to the 10th-ranked Cowboys in a loss to Central Michigan, and a Hail Mary pass for a touchdown on an untimed play that officials later admitted should have never been allowed. While the Cowboys are officially 9-2 with a seven-game winning streak, Gundys believes that the College Football Playoff selection committee also sees us as a one-loss team.OUT OF CONTENTIONWest Virginias chance at the Big 12 title ended with a 56-28 loss at home Saturday night to Oklahoma.
