Two women’s basketball players make hoops for the wrong team on a day of point-blank blunders

It was a chaotic day for women's basketball players in New Mexico. Both New Mexico State and Northwestern State experienced unfortunate misfiring layups on the wrong side of the court. One such blunder occurred with New Mexico State trailing by a point with 20 seconds left against Southern Utah. Emma Christiano of the Aggies stole an inbound pass and sank an easy layup for the Aggies, beating out Southern Utah 64-63.

Another player, Karma Wynn of Northwestern State, took a bounce pass under her own basket in the first quarter of their game against Arkansas. Wynn's layup into the wrong hoop put the Lady Demons behind by six points, ultimately leading to a 89-59 loss for Northwestern State.
