Rutgers readies for big stretch after 4-1 start | 'It's brutal'

Four wins in the first five games is about as good as the Rutgers could have hoped for.

Now, things get interesting.

Capping off Rutgers' impressive start, including a gritty -- and at times ugly -- 54-44 win over Boston University Friday afternoon, the Scarlet Knights begin a rigorous stretch next week that begins with a trip to Miami for the Big 10/ACC Showdown on Wednesday night.

After that, Rutgers will return home to Piscataway to open Big 10 play against No. 11 Michigan State on Friday night -- and then it's back to the road to face No.
