1) First 30-win regular season in Kentucky history.
2) Third 16-0 SEC team of all-time (all by UK teams - 1996, 2003, 2012).
3) This team's streak of 22 straight wins is the sixth-longest single-season winning streak in UK history (record is 27), and the eighth-longest overall (including those spanning multiple seasons, record is 32).
4) Will remain #1 in the AP poll for the seventh straight week (UK's longest streak since 11 consecutive weeks during the 1977-78 season).

First 30-win regular season in UK history?
The top regular season win totals in UK history:
1) 29-2 (2010)
2) 27-1 (current)
2) 27-2 (1948)
2) 27-4 (1997)
5) 26-1 (1996)
5) 26-3 (2003)
5) 26-3 (1986)
8) 25-0 (1954)
8) 25-1 (1949)
8) 25-1 (1970)
8) 25-2 (1978)
UK has exactly 3 games remaining, so they have to stay perfect to set the new school mark.
They wouldn't be the first in NCAA Division I history to accomplish it, however.
Examples I've found of 30+ win regular seasons:
1987 UNLV (30-1)
1998 Kansas (30-3)
2008 Memphis (30-1) (now vacated)
I will add to this list as I research this further. You'd be surprised by how inconsistent/inaccurate various sources can be on a question like this.
