WORCESTER Wolves are still hoping to give American star Josh Cooprider a run-out in tonight's home National Basketball League Division One clash with Hull (7pm).

Cooprider only returned to Worcester yesterday after a nightmare journey back from the United States, which in-volved a bomb scare in Seattle and the disappearance of his luggage in Amsterdam.

But player-coach Rick Solvason is hoping Cooprider will have got over his jet-lag and can play a key role in the match at University College Worcester.

Solvason said: "He was due to be doing some work in the gym yesterday and he played a bit when he was back home in the States, so hopefully he will be ready to go."

Wolves have no injury worries as they bid to put their play-off bid on track, having lost their last two games before the Christmas break to drop to fifth in the table.

They should be confident of victory against lowly Hull, with Solvason saying: "This is a good chance to put that all to rest, start again and see if we can get back to where we want to be.

"We know that we can be in a much better position and there are plenty of positive things we can take from the defeats."
