WORCESTER Wolves coach Paul James is seeking answers after their embarrassing 101-91 defeat to basement boys Plymouth University Raiders.

One week after surrendering their 15-match British Basketball League unbeaten home record to Cheshire Phoenix, Wolves suffered another defeat at the University of Worcester Arena.

Worcester, who have also lost to London Lions in the BBL Cup in a run of three home defeats, trailed Raiders 51-40 by half-time and fell more than 20 points behind in the third quarter.

James said: “The performance was just not there. We’ve got a lot to figure out.

"We need to find a combination of players who are all going to come out to play hard and for the full 40 minutes.”

Wolves were subjected to a hail of three-pointers with their visitors tallying 13 successes.

The hosts could muster just a solitary triple on target out of an increasingly-desperate 20 attempts.

Perris Blackwell once more headed Wolves’ scorers with 23 points followed by Pavol Losonsky on 20.

Player-coach Daryl Corletto led the way for Plymouth with 24 supported by five of his squad also in double-digits.

Worcester’s Ben Eaves looked dangerous early on with a couple of baskets but saw the rest of his contribution hampered by foul trouble.

The hard work of Blackwell and Losonsky close to the basket was overshadowed by Plymouth’s bombardment from long range.

Third-placed Wolves return to the arena on Friday, welcoming Leeds Force to the city (7.30pm).

The next day, they travel to meet Bristol Flyers in the league.
