The disparity between credited digs and total attacks is significant and interesting. I'm unable to get things to add up (but I'm probably missing something in how block touches that don't go for points are treated -- when that happens, there would be extra attacks). I would think that kills + attack errors + opponent digs (plus some stat on block touches that don't go for points) = total attacks. If that's correct, then for Illinois the result is 32 kills + 16 attack errors + 48 PSU blocks = 96 (although Illinois had 99 total attacks, so discrepancy of 3); for PSU the result is 47 kills + 22 attack errors + 33 Illinois digs = 102 (whereas PSU had 108 total attacks, so discrepancy of 6). Is that what you see also? So this is one of the things that has me bemused/flummoxed. In theory, every effort to hit a ball across the net is an attack. Even free ball bumps to keep the point going or an overpass. Mostly they don't usually count it when a DS takes a flat-footed swing or the ball is bumped over-but sometimes they do credit that kind of swing as an attack (especially when the ball drops in for a point!). In this match, none of the defensive players were credited with any attacks-but perhaps that explains some of the difference in TAs. But it does make sense that a block touch could lead to extra swings for a team as well. |
