SIXTH place is now the best Worcester Wolves can hope to finish in the National Basketball League Division One.

A run of four successive defeats has cost Wolves any chance of ending up in the top four and earning themselves a home tie in the end-of-season play-offs.

But player-coach Rick Solvason hopes a two-week break will have recharged his side's batteries as they prepare to visit Hull Icebergs tonight (6.30).

Solvason said: "The best we can finish now is sixth, and that is depending on other people's results going our way. Seventh is probably more realistic.

"What we would like to do is finish the season playing well going into the play-offs. It was nice to have a break last weekend, and consequently training was good the other night and the guys are really up for the game."

Hull are one place below Wolves in eighth and were beaten 99-89 at Worcester back in January.

Ben Livingston returns for Wolves after being unavailable for the defeat at London United, replacing Matt Wurmli.

Wolves' final league game is at Bath next Saturday.
