GAVIN LOVE says Marjon Plymouth Raiders' never-say-die mentality will make teams wary of them.

Raiders visit 12-5 Worcester Wolves in the BBL Championship tomorrow (7pm) before 7-8 Sheffield Sharks visit the Pavilions on Sunday (4pm) on another tough weekend for Love's 9-2 roster.

They are coming off their biggest high of the season and a 188-186 aggregate win over Milton Keynes Lions in the BBL Trophy semi-finals last weekend.

Raiders trailed by six points inside the final minute of the fourth quarter, but pulled the win out of the fire.

The previous weekend, they rallied from 21 points down against Glasgow Rocks before prevailing 85-78.

Love said: "Sunday showed we definitely play for 40 minutes, which was great, because we hadn't done that for a couple of weeks.

"We'd been unbelievably hot or unbelievably cold in games, but you have to play for 40 minutes to win championships.

"Teams now realise we play to the death and are going to be wary of us. We've just got to play that same way week-in, week-out."
