As the 2024-2025 basketball season progresses, Hunter and Davis have provided some exciting matchups and intriguing statistics that set the stage for their upcoming games. Despite both teams playing a similar number of games so far, their performances have varied significantly in certain aspects. Let’s take a closer look at how these two teams compare across several key areas.

Record Breakdown

Hunter enters the season with a 1-2 overall record, having played all their games at home. They have a win percentage of just .333, with a total of 164 points scored and an equal number of points allowed. This balance between points for and points against suggests that Hunter is still working on finding their rhythm.

Davis, on the other hand, has performed better with a 2-1 overall record. They have been more consistent across both home and away games, posting a .667 win percentage. Their point total of 220 scored and 165 allowed shows they have been able to produce a higher-scoring offense while maintaining a solid defense.

Team Scoring Averages

Looking at the points per game (PPG) for both teams, Davis is clearly the more potent scoring team, averaging 73.3 PPG compared to Hunter’s 54.7. This disparity is particularly evident in the second and fourth quarters, where Davis puts up 12.7 and 21.0 points per game, respectively, while Hunter scores only 13.3 and 12.3 in the same periods.

In contrast, Hunter’s strength seems to lie in their third quarter, where they average 16.7 points per game, showing they are capable of making a strong push after halftime. However, the overall trend indicates that Davis is better at closing out games, particularly with a strong performance in the final quarter, averaging 21 points compared to Hunter’s 12.3.

Team Stat Comparison

In terms of team stats, the biggest difference comes in scoring. Davis outpaces Hunter by almost 20 points per game, with 73.3 compared to Hunter’s 54.7. Rebounding and assists are relatively even between the two teams, with Davis slightly ahead in both categories (32.7 rebounds per game vs. Hunter’s 32.0, and 14.7 assists per game vs. Hunter’s 11.3).

Croydon Christensen is a key rebounder with 5.7 per game, and JT Turley adds 4.0 assists per game. Atwater’s all-around offensive performance has made him a significant contributor to Davis’s success so far.

Common Opponents

Both teams will face Brighton on December 12, 2024, but no head-to-head matchups have yet occurred this season. This upcoming game will be crucial for both teams, as it could give further insight into how they stack up against a common opponent and may serve as a momentum-shifter.

Conclusion

As the 2024-2025 season continues, Davis appears to have the upper hand in overall performance, with stronger scoring, a more effective offensive game, and a better win percentage. However, Hunter’s defense, especially their steals, and their potential to perform well in the third quarter make them a team to watch. With key players like Phanolath and Atwater on both teams, this rivalry has all the makings of a thrilling season.
