London towers returned from another Euroleague drubbing yesterdayand are now facing a ninth defeat in 11 games with tomorrow's BBL Championship trip to Chester Jets.
Towers' 99-75 loss against Peristeri in Greece on Thursday left them with five defeats and no wins in the Euroleague. Since they began their European campaign they have also lost to Milton Keynes Lions, Sheffield Sharks and been knocked out of the ntl National Cup in the first round.
Jets top the BBL northern conference and their group in the BBL League Trophy but, although Towers have lost only one of six games in the southern conference, their European struggle is hurting them.
Chester coach Robbie Peers – while insisting, ''Towers are one of the super powers of the league'' – knows that there is no better time to play them than on their return from Europe. Edinburgh dumped Towers out of the Cup 48 hours after they a 107-64 thrashing in Istanbul.
Peers will give a debut to the former England international, Kurt Samuels, who returns to the BBL after four years playing in Belgium.
Derby, with only one win this season, have the chance of a rare victory in tomorrow's game against injury-hit champions Leicester Riders.
