- Emma Christiano stole an inbounds pass with New Mexico State trailing Southern Utah by a point with 20 seconds left and sank a layup at the wrong basket, leaving the Aggies down three; the play-by-play announcer then shouted "Aggies lead!"
- Stacy Chovino scored New Mexico State's final two baskets, including a layup into the correct basket with two seconds to go, to pull out a 64-63 win over Southern Utah.
- Karma Wynn took a bounce pass under her own basket while Northwestern State tried to break Arkansas's press in the first quarter and put in a layup into the wrong hoop, putting the Lady Demons behind by six.
- Arkansas finished with an 89-59 win over Northwestern State, the game in which Wynn's wrong-basket layup handed the Lady Demons a six-point deficit in the first quarter.
- Northwestern State's wrong-basket layup came about an hour after New Mexico State's on Friday — one in a 64-63 Aggies win, the other in a 30-point loss to Arkansas.
Why it matters: New Mexico State recovered from Christiano's wrong-hoop layup when Stacy Chovino scored the last two baskets, sealing a 64-63 win over Southern Utah. Northwestern State's Karma Wynn committed the same first-quarter error against Arkansas, in a game the Lady Demons lost 89-59.
