On January 25, 1986, the UTEP Miners defeated the New Mexico Lobos 71-70 on last second, 2nd chance free throws due to a UNM fan throwing a paper cup to distract Wayne Campbell from making a one and one.
With :02 seconds left in the game and UTEP down 70-69, Campbell was fouled after getting an offensive rebound from a last second shot by Juden Smith. Campbell stepped to the line to shoot one-and-one. He missed the front end of the one-and-one; however, the referee called fan interference due to a paper cup being thrown from the stands.
Campbell made both 2nd chance free throws and the Miners won the game. This is a game that stays in the memory of all Miner and Lobos fans and will always be documented in the annals of the UTEP and UNM basketball rivalry.
