MANCHESTER, England -- Expect a pre-game handshake and even a post-game glass of wine between Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho when they renew their coaching rivalry in the Manchester derby on Saturday.After years of spats and bitterness during their time together in Spain, theres been a healthy respect between the two managers since they took charge of Manchester City and Manchester United during the offseason. That extended to Friday, when they spoke ahead of the most high-profile match of the Premier League season so far.Insisting there was no problem between them, Mourinho described Guardiola as a very good manager and said he wasnt bothered about the media frenzy surrounding their first head-to-head since 2013.Guardiola also downplayed any tension, saying he had a lot of respect for Mourinho and that he will always try to learn from him, echoing comments he made at his presentation as City manager in July.The pair worked together at Barcelona under Bobby Robson, when Guardiola was a player and Mourinho was a member of the backroom staff. They have also met each other 16 times as coaches, with Guardiola winning seven games with Barcelona and Bayern Munich and Mourinho winning three games with Inter Milan and Real Madrid.The last meeting with Madrid (and) Barcelona was not easy, Guardiola said, but we met each other two or three weeks ago in the Premier League managers (meeting) and we spoke fluently, with Ronald Koeman, with Tony Pulis, so it was OK.And about that glass of wine after the match at Old Trafford, as was often shared between Mourinho and Alex Ferguson?I will accept if he invites me, Guardiola said.Mourinho said he was more concerned with Citys players than Guardiola. City has won its first three games of the league season, as has United.They are a very good team. They were a very good team last season, two, three, four seasons ago. Maybe since the new owners arrived at Man City, Mourinho said. Its a very good squad. Its a very good team. They had very good managers. They have now a very good manager. They had always very good players. They bought some more very good players.So, they are what they are since I return to England in 2013. Theyre a title contender and we have to respect them that way, thats for sure.City will be without Sergio Aguero, its leading striker and top scorer, because of suspension. Rather than make life easier for United, Mourinho said the absence of the Argentina striker makes his teams job even harder.When Aguero is available, we know Aguero plays. We know the formation, we know their dynamic. Nobody has doubts, Mourinho said.In this moment, he doesnt play and they have an amazing, rich squad in options. (Guardiola) can have many decisions, different decisions. ... We know they have so many options, so that for my players is more difficult. It feels a bit of a contradiction, but without Aguero its more difficult. Steve Rucchin Jersey .

LAHAINA, Hawaii -- Oklahoma States relentless pressure caused havoc against lesser opponents through the first three games.It worked just as well in the Cowboys first true test this season.Jawun Evans had 35 points and five of Oklahoma States 18 steals, lifting the Cowboys to a 98-90 win over Connecticut Monday night in the opening round of the Maui Invitational.I love the fact we had 18 steals. Thats a great number, Oklahoma State coach Brad Underwood said. That means were being active and bothersome now.Oklahoma State (4-0) jumped on the Huskies from the opening tip, turning one steal after another into points in transition. The Cowboys hit five 3-pointers during an opening 18-3 run and finished 12 for 20 from the arc.Jeffrey Carroll and Phil Forte had 18 points each, helping Oklahoma State move on to the second round against No. 4 North Carolina or Chaminade.Evans also had six assists, four rebounds and one turnover.These two guys are awfully hard to guard and thats a great weapon, Underwood said of Evans and Forte.UConn (1-3) struggled with Oklahoma States constant pressure, turning it over 18 times. Jalen Adams had the most trouble with the Cowboys defense, turning it over six times in the opening five minutes and 10 overall.Adams finished with 34 points, six rebounds and six assists. Rodney Purvis added 20 points.The Huskies lost sophomore forward Terry Larrier to a left leg injury in the first half.I just love my kids effort. They tried to get back in the game, UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. I think we cut it to four, but it was just a little bit too late. And we just have to start off a little stronger and weve got to take care of the ball a little bit more.The Cowboys used their relentless pressure and ability to score in transition to average 107 points their first three games. Those came against lesser opponents, so Maui represented their first true test.Oklahoma State was at its harassing best against UConn early, forcing Huskies guard Jalen Adams to tturn it over six times in the opening five minutes.dddddddddddd.

Oklahoma State led 40-26 at halftime behind Evans 16 points.UConn finally started to get a handle on Oklahoma States pressure and got some defensive stops, trimming the Cowboys lead to seven with about five minutes left.The Huskies hit a pair of late 3-pointers, but Evans finished them off by hitting three free throws in the final 29 seconds.We definitely can build off of it, Purivs said. Our main thing is we just got to get off to a good start and take care of the basketball.LARRIERS INJURYLarrier was expected to be a big contributor this season after transferring from Virginia Commonwealth. He went down after being stripped of the ball, slapping the floor and screaming as trainers rushed out to him.Larrier was unable to put any weight on his left leg and stopped by to offer his teammates encouragement after being helped to the locker room.He left the arena on crutches and a heavy brace on his left leg.I know its a knee injury, but we dont know the significance of it yet, Ollie said.BIG PICTUREOklahoma States pressure defense withstood its first real test after beating three overmatched opponents and the Cowboys knocked down their 3s, something that will be key this season for them.The Huskies allowed themselves to get sped up by the Cowboys while falling into a big early hole and now face the possibility of playing without Larrier for an extended period.UP NEXTOklahoma State moves on the face the winner between No. 4 North Carolina and host Chaminade in Tuesdays second roundUConn plays the North Carolina-Chaminade loser.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
