Wrong-Way Layups Mar New Mexico State, Northwestern State Game

Two women's college basketball players each scored a layup on the wrong end of the floor during Friday's game between New Mexico State and Northwestern State, according to ESPN.

Emma Christiano of the Aggies and Karma Wynn of the Lady Demons were the players involved in the unusual sequence, ESPN reported. Each player converted a layup at the basket defended by her own team, giving points to the opponent rather than her own squad.

The play quickly became a talking point beyond the two campuses, drawing attention from national college basketball observers. Wrong-basket scores are rare at any level of the sport, and having two occur in the same game between New Mexico State and Northwestern State made the moment especially notable.

For local fans of the Aggies, the sequence served as a reminder of how quickly momentum can shift in a game and how fine the margins are between a routine basket and a costly mistake. Neither the final score nor further details of the game were included in the source material.
