Northwestern State guard scores on own basket, contributing to Arkansas' 40-point win in women's basketball

The Arkansas women’s basketball team easily won its second game of the 2026-27 season on Friday, defeating Northwestern State 89-59. However, the Razorbacks might only have won by 38 points if not for a surprising mistake by Lady Demons guard Karma Wynn late in the first quarter. After a non-shooting foul by Arkansas’ Ayianna Johnson, Northwestern State’s KP Parr inbounded the ball to Chloe Donnell. Facing pressure from a trapping Razorbacks defense, Donnell then passed to Wynn. Cutting toward the Lady Demons’ own basket to receive the pass, Wynn then inexplicably laid the ball in, scoring two points for Arkansas.

Make your “Bad Karma” jokes here. the reaction from SEC Network broadcasters Brett Dolan and Matt Zimmerman conveyed the shock of it all. “Oh! She scored on the wrong basket,” yelled Zimmerman. “Oh, my goodness gracious,” Dolan responded. Perhaps lost for how to describe Wynn’s blunder, ESPN’s play-by-play data described the basket as “team makes 80-foot shot” without directly crediting the score to Arkansas.

(Donnell wasn’t credited for an assist on the basket, for what that’s worth.) Parr led Northwestern State with 20 points (shooting 7-for-10 from the floor) with 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Stephie Salumu followed with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 6 steals. The Lady Demons committed 34 turnovers, led by 7 by Parr. Northwestern State (1-1) next visits No. 22 Oklahoma State (1-0) on Monday. Arkansas was led by Emily Robinson’s 18 points with 4 steals. Whitley Rogers added 16 points and 5 assists. Daniah Trammell contributed 10 points and 3 steals off the bench for the Razorbacks, who improved to 2-0 while winning both games by a combined 119 points.
