Why Isn't Find_all() Returning Complete Results?

Trying to retrieve the 4 stats boxes on a Sports Reference page. The 4 stats boxes (two teams, basic & advanced stats) can be found under 'tfoot'. However, the following code

Solution 1:

Two of the tables are hidden inside an HTML comment, these can all be extracted as follows:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, Comment

r = requests.get("https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/2016-11-11-villanova.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')
boxes = list(soup.find_all("tfoot"))

for comment in soup.find_all(string=lambda text:isinstance(text, Comment)):
    if'tfoot'in comment:
        hidden_soup = BeautifulSoup(comment, 'html.parser')
        boxes.extend(list(hidden_soup.find_all("tfoot")))

data = []        

for box in boxes:
    for tr in box.find_all('tr'):
        data.append([td.text for td in tr.find_all('td')])

for row indata:
    print row

Giving you the following data:

[u'200', u'19', u'65', u'.292', u'13', u'33', u'.394', u'6', u'32', u'.188', u'4', u'7', u'.571', u'4', u'22', u'26', u'12', u'3', u'0', u'13', u'15', u'48']

[u'200', u'.351', u'.338', u'.492', u'.108', u'8.9', u'71.0', u'34.2', u'63.2', u'4.0', u'0.0', u'16.0', u'100.0', u'64.0', u'117.3']
[u'200', u'.605', u'.604', u'.612', u'.179', u'29.0', u'91.1', u'65.8', u'45.5', u'10.7', u'12.1', u'10.0', u'100.0', u'117.3', u'64.0']
