Looking for revenge might not be the best way for No. 21 Rutgers to approach its game with No.20 Cincinnati. There is no doubt the Scarlet Knights (3-1) want to avenge an embarrassing loss to the Bearcats a year ago, and get back on track after being upset by Maryland and knocked out of the top 10. However, being too hyped might cause problems against Big East rival Cincinnati, which is 5-0 for the first time since 1954.
