In order of significance:
(1) If the officiating had been remotely fair, we would have won by double-digits. The refs gifted Auburn with an *18-point* advantage from the FT line. Cooper was able to do whatever he wanted. There was a point in the game when an Auburn defender jumped on top of Mitchell Smith after a clean steal, and *Smith* was called for the foul. It was 8-on-5 the entire game (except for when Wilmore was in, it was 8-on-4).
(2) If Wilmore hadn't played. I hate to say it, but he's the slowest player I've ever seen. He was like a statue out there, and Auburn netted 7 or 8 points from that stretch. Absolutely mind-boggling decision by Cuonzo.
(3) If Mark Smith didn't have his worst game of the season, we would have won.
(4) If JT makes FT's, or even that wide-open dunk he missed and then got T'ed up for hanging on the rim.
I'm probably missing something, but those are the first 4 that come to mind.
