I think the SEC plays us because they're looking for quality OOC games and they too are getting squeezed out by the ACC/Big 10. I'm sure if Michigan or Virginia would play Mississippi State at home that'd take that game over Dayton. With the Gavitt Games with the Big East, ACC/Big10 challenge, rivalry games with Big East or SEC schools, annual neutral games (Champions Classic, Crossroad Classics, etc) and exempt tourneys the Big 10/ACC schools aren't playing many series outside of those games.
If PAC 12 schools are coming east to play they're gonna want most times a neutral court or a high profile/exposure match up with great tv coverage. Playing an Ole Miss, Auburn, etc. isn't gonna give them that.
Cal and Kentucky don't want a 20 game schedule so they can play high profile OOC games and what UK says goes in SEC basketball. That gives us for now a chance to get games
