I think it's 2-fold. One, the conference wants to elevate all the SEC teams, and thinks the way to help with that is to "help them" sometimes beat the flagship program. And two, I think the top officials in the SEC are all friends of Higgins, and hold a grudge against BBN.They get these games because they’re doing what they’re told. If the SEC wanted UK to get a fair whistle, they would make sure it happened. For some reason, the conference hates its most profitable basketball team.
