Why this one matters

The teams meet in a quick rematch after a Dec. 6 thriller in which Handley edged LaFayette 52-51 — a one-point game that could set the tone for another tight contest. Both programs will look to tighten up on the defensive end and avoid the late-game mistakes that decided the last meeting (full recap of the previous game: https://scorebooklive.com/alabama/basketball/games/5708566-lafayette-vs-handley).
