A significant New Mexico State statistic

From the folks at the Bleed Crimson site comes this stat from this post that should be causing some alarm for NMSU Aggie fans:

"...the Aggies were manhandled on the boards. KU had 20 offensive rebounds, the Aggies had 20 total rebounds. KU outrebounded the Aggies 46-20. As we mentioned in last week's WAC roundup for Rush The Court, the Aggies are being out rebounded at an alarming rate. Last season the Aggies were second in the nation in rebounding margin at +8.9. Heading into last night's game's the Aggies' rebounding margin was -7. That's a difference of nearly 16 rebounds from a year ago. Whether they be offensive or defensive, that's 16 less opportunities that the Aggies have to score and 16 more opportunities Aggie opponents have to score..."

By the way, the Bleed Crimson site is one to check every day for all the latest on NMSU athletics.
