A TRIO of Worcester Wolves players have been named in the British Basketball League’s team of the week after their stunning display at Mersey Tigers.

The University of Worcester-based side cruised into the semi-final of the BBL Cup after a crushing 91-62 victory at the reigning league champions.

Amercian duo Richie Gordon and Sherrad Prezzie-Blue have been named in the starting five by the league with compatriot Tommy Freeman in the off-the-bench section.

Rookie forward Gordon hit 27 points in Liverpool and 15 rebounds, while point-guard Prezzie-Blue hit four triples in his 23-point haul. Freeman also netted 23 points in the quarter-final clash.

Wolves, who are now unbeaten in six matches, return to the Tigers on Friday night as they look to maintain their 100 per cent league record before coming back to their university base on Saturday to tackle Plymouth Raiders.
