B.J. Edwards eligible for OU basketball opener after court ruling

B.J. Edwards, guard for Oklahoma men's basketball, was granted a temporary restraining order by Judge Michael Tupper on October 30, allowing him to participate in the Sooners' season opener against East Texas A&M. Edwards has been practicing with the team, having faced eligibility issues since being ineligible for two months due to a prior court decision. The ruling is part of an ongoing legal challenge to the NCAA’s new 'Five-for-Five Rule' affecting athletes from the 2022 high school graduation class. Edwards, a transfer from SMU, started in 28 games last season and averaged nearly 13 points per game. The Sooners will tip off their season at 7 p.m. on November 1 at Lloyd Noble Center.
