USC signee O.J. Mayo had 19 points, six rebound and four assists for Huntington (W.Va.), No. 2 n USA TODAY’s Super 25, before fouling out in a 73-66 victory over No. 11, Artesia (Lakewood, Calif.) in the feature game of the HoopHall Classic at Duke University’s Cameron Indoor Stadium before 3,000.

Mayo drew national attention Friday when he was ejected after receiving two technicals which is suppose to be an automatic 2 game suspension. A complaint was filed that allowed Mayo to play until the hearing scheduled for Feb. 9th.

“I lost my cool that night; I let the emotions get the best of me. I should have made a better choice over a controversial call. For sure I didn’t desrve the second techincal and didn’t bump the referee. It was unintentional contact,” Mayo said of the incident.
