Morgan vs. Logan: A 2024-2025 Basketball Season Comparison

As the 2024-2025 basketball season progresses, fans and analysts alike are turning their attention to the performances of the Morgan and Logan teams. Each team has shown varying levels of success in their early season records, with some notable differences in scoring, defense, and individual player performances. Here’s a detailed breakdown of their records, stats, and what we can expect as the season unfolds.

Season Records and Performance Overview

Morgan’s Strong Start
Morgan has had an impressive 4-1 record to start the 2024-2025 season. They’ve proven themselves strong both at home and away, with a home record of 3-1 and an undefeated away record of 1-0. With a solid winning percentage of .800, Morgan has been scoring an average of 76 points per game (PF – Points For), while allowing 262 points (PA – Points Against) across their five games. This offensive strength has been crucial to their early success.

Logan’s Mixed Performance
In contrast, Logan’s season has been a bit more up and down. They hold a 1-1 overall record, with no home games played yet but a 1-1 record on the road. Logan’s average points per game stand at 55, significantly lower than Morgan’s, and they’ve allowed 126 points in their two games. This puts them at a .500 winning percentage, showing they still have room for improvement in their performance.

Scoring Averages and Quarter-by-Quarter Breakdown

When looking at scoring by quarters, Morgan clearly outpaces Logan. Morgan averages:

• Q1: 22.0 points
• Q2: 13.0 points
• Q3: 24.0 points
• Q4: 9.0 points
  This consistent scoring spread shows Morgan’s ability to generate offense across the game, particularly in the first and third quarters, where they score the most.

Logan, on the other hand, scores:

• Q1: 21.0 points
• Q2: 13.0 points
• Q3: 20.0 points
• Q4: 21.0 points
  Logan’s scoring seems more balanced throughout the game, with the highest output in the fourth quarter. However, their overall scoring average of 55 points is still far behind Morgan’s 76 points per game.

Team Stat Comparison

Morgan leads Logan in several key statistical categories:

• Points Per Game (PPG): Morgan (76) vs. Logan (55)
• Rebounds Per Game (RPG): Morgan (32) vs. Logan (32) — both teams are tied in rebounding.
• Assists Per Game (APG): Morgan (13.5) vs. Logan (13.5) — again, tied in assists.
• Steals Per Game: Morgan (4.0) vs. Logan (4.0) — both teams are close.
• Blocks Per Game: Morgan (4.5) vs. Logan (0.3) — Morgan’s defense shows significant strength in blocking shots.

Individual Leaders

Morgan:

• Points Per Game: Sade Nenbee (18.0 PPG)
• Rebounds Per Game: Reed Olsen (9.5 RPG)
• Assists Per Game: Josh Jensen (4.0 APG)
• Steals Per Game: Milo Steele (1.5 SPG)
• Blocks Per Game: Reed Olsen (2.5 BPG)

Logan:

• Points Per Game: (5.7 PPG)
• Rebounds Per Game: (3.0 RPG)
• Assists Per Game: (1.2 APG)
• Steals Per Game: (1.1 SPG)
• Blocks Per Game: (0.3 BPG)

Morgan’s players are clearly leading the charge in multiple categories. Sade Nenbee has been a dominant force on offense, while Reed Olsen’s presence in the paint with both rebounds and blocks has been a crucial defensive asset. Logan, while showing some promise, has not yet been able to match Morgan’s individual and team statistics.

Common Opponents

Both teams have faced a common set of opponents, but with different results:

• West Field: Morgan won 68-53 (11/19/24), while Logan will face them later in the season.
• Green Canyon: Morgan lost 68-67 (11/26/24), Logan will play Green Canyon on 1/11/25.
• Tooele: Morgan won 82-64 (12/2/24), while Logan will meet Tooele on 1/2/25.

These matchups suggest that Morgan has had a slightly tougher schedule, which they’ve managed to navigate successfully.

Head-to-Head Comparison

In terms of head-to-head performance, Morgan holds the advantage with a 4-1 overall record, including a strong 3-1 home performance. Logan has yet to play a home game but has a .500 record on the road. This early in the season, Morgan’s experience and dominance at home have been key factors in their success.

Conclusion: Morgan’s Early Dominance

The early season analysis suggests that Morgan is currently the stronger team, both in terms of individual performances and overall team stats. With a higher scoring average, better defensive stats, and standout players like Sade Nenbee and Reed Olsen, Morgan looks poised for a successful season. Logan, however, still has plenty of potential to improve, particularly in offense and defense. If Logan can find their rhythm, particularly in the scoring department, they could become a formidable force as the season progresses.

For now, Morgan leads the way, and all eyes will be on these two teams when they meet again later in the season.
