Apparently, knowing which basket you’re supposed to score on is no longer a prerequisite for playing college basketball. Of course, I’m joking, but if you watched the lowest moments of the New Mexico State and Northwestern State women’s basketball teams, you might not be so sure. Each team had a spectacularly embarrassing moment Friday by giving away points to the opposing team while scoring on the wrong basket. Yes, you read that correctly. Twice. On the same day in college basketball, two different women’s teams scored on their own baskets. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

The first disaster occurred during Northwestern State’s matchup against Arkansas, when Lady Demons guard Karma Wynn inexplicably put the ball into the Razorbacks’ basket on an inbounds play in the defensive zone. This was also after an offensive foul. Estaban protegiendo la canasta, se detuvieron y Wynn todavía se tiró un pedo y le dio puntos gratis a Arkansas.

An assistant coach buried her head in her clipboard, while her teammates nearly jumped out of their seats in shock. Arkansas received two free points and the Razorbacks won big, 89-59. But just when you thought we’d reached peak basketball stupidity, New Mexico State decided to raise the bar. This one has an interesting twist, so stay in your seats. With just over 20 seconds left against Southern Utah, New Mexico State trailed 61-60. Guard Emma Christiana made a great play by stealing an inbounds pass and then continued moving to the wrong side of the court. He effortlessly put the ball in his own basket, but judging by his initial reaction and that of the people in the stands, they had no idea that Southern Utah had taken the lead in the craziest of ways. With the game on the line, Christiana scored two points for the other team. Even crazier: the scorer didn’t notice the mistake either. On the broadcast, you would have thought, from the score, that New Mexico State took the lead.

At that moment, you almost wonder if anyone in the building knew what was happening. Qué desastre. And somehow, despite literally helping Southern Utah take a 63-60 lead, New Mexico State pulled out the win. Freshman Stacy Chovino scored twice in the final seconds, including the game-winning basket with two seconds left, on the right basket, to give the Aggies an impressive 64-63 victory. Imagine winning a basketball game after scoring for your opponent in the last 30 seconds. That’s almost more impressive than the error itself. Two teams. Dos cestas propias. Una tarde.
