The James Harden vs. O.J. Mayo will apparently take place after all tonight at Duke.
Mayo, ejected after receiving two technicals during a Huntington (West Virginia) game Friday night, went to court and received a temporary injunction, apparently allowing him to play against Artesia tonight in the game that is part of a double-header that also matches Mater Dei and Oak Hill Academy.
West Virginia High School rules state an athlete ejected from a game or match must sit out the next two games or matches.
It's hard to imagine that, once this all plays out legall, the state federation isn't going to prevail and that Mayo and five other teammates (who left the bench after he was ejected, leading to their ejection as well and supposed two-game suspensions) will be ruled ineligible to have competed against Artesia. Hence, the Pioneers could get win regardless of what happens on the court tonight.
That being said, I wish there were TV coverage of both game available to us in some fashion.
