Making sure your shoes are tied is important, but correcting the matter during the course of play can be like playing with fire.

Northwestern's Ashley Deary found that out the hard way Thursday night, as she stopped to tie her shoe while bringing the ball up court. Khadaizha Sanders took advantage for Rutgers, stealing the ball and feeding Shrita Parker for an easy two points.

In the end the lapse in judgement didn't cost the Wildcats, as they went on to a 60-38 victory, but it's a moment Deary is unlikely to forget anytime soon.
