    PISCATAWAY, N.J. – As far as midseason acquisitions go, junior combo guard Kyrie Irving is about as a good as they come.

    Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick, No. 4 in the RivalsHigh 100, is 6-0 since Irving debuted on Jan. 22 and may be as hot as any team in the nation.

    One of those victories was a resounding 88-62 rout of then-No. 4 Newark (N.J.) St. Benedict’s at the Rutgers Athletic Center.

    “It feels great because we’re coming out and we’re just pressuring them full court,” the 6-foot-2 Irving said after posting 21 points, four assists, three blocks, three steals and three rebounds against St. Benedict’s. “This will put us in position to be No. 1 in the country. Our main goal, the top goal, is to be national champions and to win the [New Jersey Tournament of Champions].”
