Worcester Wolves basketball team have their first home game in three weeks this Saturday at the University of Worcester when they entertain PAWS London Capitals at 7.00 pm. Wolves have won two out of the last three BBL  games that they have played but have still to register a win in front of their home fans. Coach Skouson Harker is really hoping that his team can get the job done against a side that are bottom of the league ladder.

He says "I know very little about the Capitals. I do know that they play hard and compete vigorously in every game and we must be ready to match their intensity and energy. It is a very big game for us as we try to move up the table. We will concentrate on our game and try to keep improving."

Wolves last game saw them win a high scoring shoot out in Worthing and Harker himself was the stand out player for the city club with an impressive double double of 32 points and 18 rebounds. Wolves are the highest point scorers in the whole of the BBL with an average of more than 94 points scored each time they go on court. They have three of the top ten individual scorers in the whole of the BBL with Harker and Brown at just under 20 per game and Anthony Paez with 25.

Player coach Harker went on "Offensively we have some guys who get the job done. It is an easy criticism to say that we play little D but as we get up more shots than most teams it is only natural that our opponents do the same. However, I do agree that our close outs and pressure does need to be more consistent."

The Capitals have already used 20 different players this year and have yet to play either of the two Americans who have allegedly signed for them, or perhaps their most experienced player Santa Ataha. Luckily for the Wolves there has been no sign either of the prolific Wes Miller who poured in a staggering 49 points in just one game against Milton Keynes Lions two seasons ago.

 Only two players have played in all of the games for the Capitals so far but on the day they can beat anyone as they proved when they recorded a win at Guildford Heat last month in which their English point guard Kaleston Wood netted 26 points.

Two of their more recent signings are Josh Clark who scored 5 out of 6 three point baskets against Milton Keynes last week and 6'11" centre Ajou Deng who was with Guildford last season.  Top scorer is Ibrahim Gariba with 15 points per game and he has been with the Capitals ever since they joined the BBL at the same time as the Wolves in 2007.

Capitals coach Milek Jivens knows that his team is in for a tough test at the University on Saturday. "I have not seen Wolves play as yet this season but I do know they have an outstanding performer in Anthony Paez. However it is not about the Wolves or their individuals it is about us. We have to execute and keep focus."  They have lost both of their last two games against Sheffield and Milton Keynes but Jivens has not pressed the panic button and concluded "For us to win all we have to play well as a unit and successfully complete moves at the key times in the game."
