The players are saying all the right things. Louisville is the next game. They’re taking it one game at a time. It’s a big game, but so were North Carolina and Connecticut.”They’re a great team,” freshman guard John Wall said of Louisville. “They’ve got a great coach in Rick Pitino. They’ve got a lot of great guys that came in. They’ve got a great freshman point guard in Peyton Siva. They’re an aggressive team. They want to push up and play defense and turn you over.”That’s great and all, but make no mistake about it, the UK-Louisville game, which tips off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Rupp Arena, is always the biggest game of the year to the fans. Unless you’ve lived it, you have no idea. After Tuesday’s rout of Hartford, Kentucky’s 14th straight victory to open the season, the freshmen were asked if they understood the importance of the Dream Game. Open an honest, some of the first-year players admitted that they probably don’t appreciate the rivalry as much as they should.”We really won’t know until that day but all the talk you can tell it’s a pretty big game,” freshman DeMarcus Cousins said.Pretty big? Try monumental.As the next few days pass, Cousins and Co. should get a better glimpse at what the rivalry is all about. In fact, it’s already started. Cousins said he’s been receiving messages on Facebook telling him about the rivalry.”I actually had a Facebook comment that said, ‘I don’t care if you lose every game, you all just better make sure you beat Louisville,’ ” Cousins said.Is the picture becoming a little more clear, “Boogie?””That’s crazy,” he said.Sophomore guard Darius Miller, who still vividly remembers the sting from a last-second loss to Louisville last season, said not to worry about the young freshman. They’ve been preaching that-one game mentality to them for a reason, but he said they’ll be ready for the atmosphere in Rupp Arena on Saturday.”I’m sure (the young players) said that we’re just trying to take it one game at a time and we’re just trying to focus on the next game,” Miller said. “They understand how big the rivalry is. When you have a million fans that we better beat Louisville, they understand how big it is.”
