Form notes (tracked teams with 2026 data)

Voice: sideout / transition / serve-receive pressure — only from Fall 2026 counting stats in this snapshot. Early-season caveat applies.

Nebraska

Attack efficiency sits at 0.328 team hit — early-season termination profile that sustains sideout pressure when in-system.
Serve pressure proxy: 1.90 aces/set. Dig volume 12.90/set; block touches 2.96/set.
Opp Hit% allowed 0.101; hit differential +0.227 (team Hit% − Opp Hit%; lower Opp Hit% is better).
Assists/kills 0.879 — near 1.0 often means cleaner set→kill distribution (overpass kills still count as good offense).
Primary terminator (among players in desk file): Harper Murray (OH) — 181 kills.
Floor defense lead: Olivia Mauch with 206 digs.

Methodology

Ingest (scripts/ingest_stats.py) scrapes ncaa.com current-season individual + team leaderboards (paginated), caches raw HTML under data/raw/YYYY-MM-DD-live/, and merges into data/processed/.
Sidearm school pages are attempted for tracked programs; only server-rendered HTML tables are parsed. JS-walled sites are documented, not fabricated.
stats.ncaa.org is not used (Akamai blocks from this environment).
Prior-season calibration CSVs are not the published desk narrative.
Movers diff against a previous CURRENT_SEASON_2026 snapshot when present.
Form notes, tracked rankings, and matchup previews use only 2026 counting stats in this snapshot. Early-season small-sample caveats are intentional — rates move quickly with more sets.
Advanced counting derived here: Kill% (K/TA), Err% (E/TA), PTS/PTS/S, Opp Hit%, hitting differential, assists/kills, and kill share (player K ÷ team K). These are not Evollve RAPM, not % Tm Pts Plyd, and not sideout%/FBSO.
Side-out % and point-scoring % are computed separately from ncaa.com play-by-play — see Side-out % vs Point-scoring %. Service errors (SE) and RAPM remain teach-only.
