By no means is this the finish line.A Saturday matchup with Florida marks but another step on a memorable journey, but this step merits some special attention.With Kentucky a win away from completing the first perfect regular season by a power-conference team since 1975-76, even John Calipari stopped for a moment to think about what it’s taken to get here.”I’m not reflecting back right now, I’m looking forward,” Coach Cal said. “But I will tell you for them to stay the course is a challenge in itself here.”With each win, the hype with which the top-ranked Wildcats (30-0, 17-0 Southeastern Conference) began the season has only intensified. Even so, they’ve remained as one.”To stay into each other, to not listen and let the clutter affect who you are and how you play, it’s amazing,” Calipari said. “I mean, you got guys that aren’t worried about Player of the Year, yet if they were playing 35 minutes a game and getting the ball every time, they’d be Player of the Year. They’re not worried about it. They’re just playing basketball. They’re just trying to play for each other.”With the eyes of the college basketball world trained on Lexington for Saturday’s 2 p.m. ET matchup with the Gators (15-15, 8-9 SEC), the Cats are choosing to keep that attitude. Like Coach Cal, they’ll save most of their reflection for later.”I think that’s one of those things that’s gonna hit you later,” Willie Cauley-Stein said, “maybe not at the time just because, you know, it’s not gonna really mean a lot at the time ’cause you still got other stuff–like after the season’s over, a month from now, when you look back at how fast it went by.”The speed with which this season has passed was a common theme as UK held its normal pregame media availability. It seems, everyone agreed, like the Cats’ preseason trip to the Bahamas only just ended.”The season has flown by,” Calipari said. “I can still remember me using the Bahamas, having a bunch of wide-eyed freshmen not knowing what in the world to expect that played well down there and started feeling good about themselves.”Calipari pointed to that trip as a proving ground for the platoon system that has helped carry Kentucky to 30-0. Taking full advantage of their unmatched depth, the Cats overwhelmed professional opponents even with Cauley-Stein and Trey Lyles sidelined by injury.”We’d have team meetings and (Coach Cal would) be like, ‘This is crazy,’ ” Cauley-Stein said. ” ‘We don’t even have our whole team here and we still look really good,’ and how excited he was for everybody to be back and the season to get going.”  The excitement was justified.The Cats have charged through the regular season, never losing their grip on the top spot in both major polls. They lead the nation comfortably in scoring margin at 21.4 and boast a defense that’s allowed fewer points per possession than any since kenpom.com began measuring the statistic in 2001-02.Mix all that in with the cohesiveness and chemistry of this group and it’s clear that something unique is going on.”I told them, you know, we have limited time together,” Calipari said. “I told my staff, ‘Every minute you can spend with these guys you better spend with them. I mean, when you get to the (Wildcat Coal) Lodge, we’ll go to meals – let’s just do everything together because this thing’s going to wind down.”Saturday will be Senior Day for Sam Malone, Brian Long and Tod Lanter. Though none of the three has a regular role, the fact remains that this will be the last time this group plays together at Rupp Arena as currently constituted.”It’s very special because as a team we’ve been through a lot together this year,” Tyler Ulis said. “It’s going to be our last time playing at Rupp together. It’ll probably be memorable. Last time Tod, Sam and (Brian) will play in Rupp. It’ll be fun to play.”Whether the three seniors start remains to be seen. Cauley-Stein expects to be electric no matter what.”It’s probably going to be really good energy,” Cauley-Stein said. “But it’s going to be tough too at the same time, so it’s not something that you can just take lightly and stroll in there and think you’re going to win. You know, we’re going to have to come to play.” A month ago, the Gators gave Kentucky all it could handle in a 68-61 Cats win in spite of playing much of the night without Michael Frazier II. The sharp-shooting guard is expected to be available on Saturday.”Well, he spreads the court,” Calipari said, “and what they’re doing in their pick and rolls is just keeping everybody away from the basket, trying to get rim baskets or 3s or moving the ball from there into driving. Billy’s (Donovan) done a great job with his team.”Just a year ago, it was Florida going for an unbeaten run through SEC play against Kentucky, but the Gators are now viewed as little more than a roadblock en route to an even more impressive feat. The Cats don’t see it that way at all.”That’s how you get beat,” Cauley-Stein said. “If you think about it like as a whole like that, you just gotta take it one step at a time and let nature take its course.”
