Tempers flared when Kansas State's Dai Dai Ames tried to create separation from Providence's Garwey Dual on an inbounds play.

[{"selector":"#anim-137ca476-04e5-431e-975f-ed1f2d9eaa3c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1.7857139931518697%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9a4a23c8-d473-46ab-b3af-b0308527cb4e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d79837f-4669-46e5-ae48-91f5e99299cb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a7a9dd50-8c50-4bde-ab11-94212665cc0d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Although it didn't seem to be his intention, Ames hit Dual up high. Instead of letting it go, Dual tried to retaliate by taking a swing at Ames' face.

[{"selector":"#anim-b10580c7-9050-4699-a8c1-0e25e737e31a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84a4c91d-fff0-469a-8771-ba4d07c2aad3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Thankfully, Providence assistant coach Nate Tomlinson was able to stop Dual from throwing a second punch.

[{"selector":"#anim-5015a50c-6d82-4033-b920-b2c127fabf13 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-1.785713993151863%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a6098257-1734-4913-a052-6c1e8c2949ce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2b71d359-2a28-4536-990d-cd9d9d47ce33","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The officials decided to eject both Ames and Dual from Friday night's game.

[{"selector":"#anim-a64be815-8ffa-4c53-9cdc-6181a240c8b7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.80819269957133%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d0140db7-df0e-4b39-9007-d32caceffb2c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c02b3a6c-699d-45c9-bbf5-2c5719082fa8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 335.94091%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

When asked if Dual learned any lesson from this incident, Providence head coach Kim English replied, "You shouldn't fight during a basketball game."

[{"selector":"#anim-b6faeebe-d1c2-443e-983c-006c38444d51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b216a953-0270-41af-849e-dad37405dc42","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 177.12418%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

There's a good chance Dual will miss additional time because of this altercation. The NCAA obviously doesn't want scuffles like this breaking out on the hardwood.
