Some of the confetti likely still lies on the floor at Rupp Arena. The streamers might have finally made it into the dumpster.But the party is already over. Two-thousand wins is in the books. It’s time for the players to move forward.That was the message head coach John Calipari will deliver to his players Tuesday afternoon at practice, less than 24 hours after celebrating UK2K, Kentucky’s historic 2,000th victory. The Cats will have little time to recover from Monday’s hangover as they prepare for Long Beach State, a team Calipari has mentioned several times this season as potential upset.The game will be UK’s third in five days against a team that defeated UCLA earlier in the year, not to mention it’s a unique 1 p.m. tipoff. “The good news is they have a short turnaround too. (Long Beach State) played last night and they had to travel,” Calipari said. “We’ll have no excuse. We didn’t play guys 40 minutes and it wasn’t an overtime game. Hopefully they got their rest last night. If they didn’t, it will show. It’ll be another lesson to be learned.”Rest? Who needs rest when you’re the first program to 2,000 wins?Some of the players looked noticeably sluggish when they entered the Joe Craft Center for practice Tuesday. Patrick Patterson, who took the microphone Monday night and thanked the fans for all their support, said he hasn’t even had a chance to see the highlights from last night.”I just woke up,” Patterson said. “I haven’t turned on the television yet.”Patterson said a big group of them stayed up after the game until 4 a.m. to celebrate and “just have fun.” DeMarcus Cousins, a bit sheepishly, smiled and said “no comment” when asked how late they were up last night.Calipari only warned that they “better not have been” up that late. “We’re trying to teach them what fun means,” Calipari said. “They’re having fun and what we’re talking about is two different things.”Calipari took part in the on-court celebration Monday night with former coach Joe B. Hall, Adolph Rupp’s son, Herky, and Bill Keightley’s wife, Hazel, and daughter, Karen Marlowe.”I was happy that (Hall and Rupp) and Hazel and Karen got to share in that celebration because (when you think about 2,000 wins), you think about Mr. Keightley all those years, coach Rupp all those years, coach Hall all those years,” Calipari said. “I’m really happy that coach Hall gets to see how much he’s appreciated in this town. They were chanting his name.”The first-year coach was also pleased to have his team be a part of the history, albeit a minute fraction of the 2,000 wins.”You want those guys to know what it feels like to accomplish and do it together and that hard work is paying off. I didn’t mind it. Now that’s behind us and now we move on to the grind of getting to that part of the season.”Now that 2,000 is behind them, talk of an undefeated season has resurfaced. “We are really serious about it,” Cousins said. “That’s another goal we’re trying to reach. That’s another part of history we’re trying to make.”Although it’s only December and no team has gone undefeated and win the national championship since the 1975-76 Indiana team, Calipari doesn’t mind the undefeated talk. In fact, he welcomes it.”I’m fine with that,” Calipari said. “I have no problem. One of the greatest athletes of our time was Muhammad Ali and he would talk and say stuff and then he’d back it up. He’d get into that ring and knock somebody out.””I also want them to be humbled when they’re having success, but dream big dreams.” Calipari said. “I’ve been told that my whole life.”
