WORCESTER Wolves will aim to prevent Ply-mouth Raiders completing a sweep against them tonight at the University of Worcester (7pm tip-off).

The last game between the teams saw Plymouth run out comfortable 95-77 winners thanks to a good start to the game. The previous meeting in Worcester proved to be closer and it took a strong fourth period for Raiders to record an 85-79 win.

Wolves will go into the weekend looking to bounce back after last week's loss against Guildford Heat in the BBL Trophy semi-final and coach Skouson Harker was in reflective mood after the game, "Neither team played well, it was hard fought but not great," Harker said. "We only shot 60 per cent from free-throws, and 16 per cent from three-pointers, and it's hard to win like that.

"We have to concentrate on getting in the play-offs now, but although it's a cliché, we have to take one game at a time.

"There's no point looking at the fixture list and pinpointing certain games that we can win, we have to go for all of them. It's the kind of season where everyone can beat each other, so we have to prepare for every game like it's a final."
