Detailed summary

Emma Christiano and Karma Wynn both scored layups in the wrong baskets on Friday, though Christiano’s New Mexico State team still won 64-63.

It was one of those days where players had trouble figuring out which way was up.

Players from New Mexico State and Northwestern State each sank layups on the wrong end of the floor Friday — a pair of point-blank blunders in women’s basketball that put their teams on the highlight reels for all the wrong reasons.

One came with New Mexico State trailing by a point with 20 seconds to go against Southern Utah. Emma Christiano of the Aggies stole an inbounds pass and coasted in for the easy score.

“Aggies lead!” the play-by-play announcer screamed after Christiano’s layup went through.
