GAMEDAY had a chance to chat with LaVille coach Nicholas Amor about the rematch from the December 3 contest at Triton. "Triton is a team that's gotten a lot better over the past month," explained coach Amor. "They have good guard play that really wants to attack the basket and get to the rim. They pressure teams in full court. We have to be ready to break the press and keep people in front of us and force them to take outside shots. Offensively we need to be in a attack mode and get to the foul line to get opportunities to see the ball go in the hole and work them on every possession."
