What type of team do you think gives the hogs the most problems?  Some suggestions are:
A slow-down team with guards that don't turn it over.
A tall team with great rebounders.
A spread-it-out team with great 3-pt shooters.
A quick team that drives hard to the basket to get fouls.
A gritty team with a lock-down defense.
A running team with great athletes.

All of the above are hard to beat, but I think the team with lock-down defense is the toughest to deal with.  If the hogs are not scoring, it seems to affect their whole game. I thought the Houston blowout was due mostly to the defense the Cougars played.  They kept the Hogs out of their offense all night. 


Treasure your ignorance.  Once it is lost you can never get it back.

We have lost to the three best defenses that we have played by raw points per possession.  In particular, they allow few deuces.  Their interior defense is elite.  Auburn falls into that category. 
The jawbone of an ass is just as dangerous a weapon today as in Sampson's time.

To answer your question [AS I SEE IT ], when I've watched the Hogs lose, they've lost to teams that do two or more of the following well: rebound, play smothering man to man, have an inside out [drive and dish] or motion offense, shoot free throws well, and can either run with the Hogs or slow the tempo down.

The Hogs have never rebounded well, run set offensive plays, play hands free defense, or until recently, shot free throws well, under MA ... and that's not a knock on Mike. His style relies on pace of play and number of possessions. Teams who control those things usually give the Hogs a hard time.

Guards/wings that can drive and create. Once a guard/wing gets by his defender the defense has to start rotating and gets out of position and causes either a score, foul, rebound and foul or a offensive rebound put back, or a drive a kick out to a shooter.

Everyone . . . because we are so inconsistent and, I still believe, poorly coached.  MissSt is a perfect example.

They've kicked the snot out of a few of these this year.

The real answer is teams that can be productive in their front court offensive possessions.  They don't need to be killer scorers, but if they are efficient,  it changes our perimeter defense.  That leads to backbreaker 3s, and out of sorts offense, as our bigs press to match, meaning our guards struggle to find their shots in  the flow of an offense, and end up taking 'challenge shots', where they're trying to spark a play to happen, but where they realistically end up taking a low percentage look.

We play ourselves out of our offense, when teams can score around the hoop effectively.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

A true and factual analysis.  Hard to win ugly when you don't defend or rebound.
