First incident was Cumberland getting fouled on a drive to the basket by Antwan Jones. After the play, they got in each others' faces and as a big group rushed over to separate them Jenifer left the bench to join the mild melee. Jenifer was given a technical/ejection for leaving the bench but Memphis didn't shoot FTs for it.
Second incident involved Cumberland being guarded by Raynere Thornton 30 feet from the basket. As Cumberland made a move to drive by him Thornton inadvertently threw his body into him and tripped him for a common foul. Seconds after the call, Thornton stepped over Cumberland on the ground and made contact with Cumberland's body/stepped on his hand during the motion. Thornton got T'd up and luckily Cumberland got restrained by teammates so he didn't get in trouble for retaliation.
Cumberland would go onto make 1 of 2 Tech FTs and both FTs from the 1-and-1 so the incident did have a significant impact on the final score.
