It may have been a brisk evening outside the friendly confines of UAB's Bartow Arena, but tempers flared in Thursday night’s UAB Men’s Basketball game against Conference USA rival Louisiana Tech.

The first 34 minutes of the contest played as one would expect, but at the six-minute mark, a shooting foul caused a bench-clearing brawl.

The Blazers started the game with a 7-0 scoring run. La Tech attempted 67 shots throughout the course of the game and were only able to connect on 29 of them for a percentage of 43.
