Technical fouls became a common occurrence for both teams after tensions ran high for a frustrated Florida Atlantic team that was in the midst of being handed its largest defeat of the season, in a one-sided 67-104 Saturday night loss.

Things escalated at the midway point of the second half when University of Alabama-Birmingham and Florida Atlantic guards Tyler Madison and Solomon Poole traded dunks that led to a discussion between Poole and UAB forward Tosin Mehinti earning the two players a technical foul.
