40 UTEP MINERS TONY BARBEE HEAD COACH MASSACHUSETTS 93 FOURTH SEASON Conference USA Coach of the Year NABC District 11 Coach of the Year After improving steadily in each of Tony Barbee s first three seasons as head coach, the UTEP Miners have taken a gigantic leap forward in and put together one of the finest campaigns in school history. UTEP is 26-6 heading into the NCAA Tournament and won the Conference USA regular season title with a 15-1 record. The Miners had a 16-game winning streak late in the season and set a school record for consecutive road wins (seven) while earning placement in both national top-25 polls for the first time in 18 years. Despite losing all-time leading scorer Stefon Jackson from last year s team, the Miners have been vastly superior in by taking their defensive tenacity to an entirely different level. UTEP has lowered its opponent scoring average from 71.9 points per game in to 64.2 this year -- the second-best scoring defense for the Miners in the last 18 seasons. UTEP s field goal percentage defense (.390) is its best in 36 years, and its three-point field goal percentage defense (.307) ranks first in school history. The Miners held 14 of 16 C-USA opponents below their season scoring averages. UTEP was particularly stout defensively in league road games, limiting foes to a composite.359 field goal percentage. Remarkably, in 10 road games this season, only two teams (Houston and Memphis) shot better than 40 percent from the field against the Miners on their home floor. UTEP has been no slouch offensively either, averaging 75.8 points per game and shooting 47.6 percent from the floor as Barbee has done a masterful job blending four high-profile Division I transfers (Derrick Caracter, Christian Polk, Myron Strong, Jeremy Williams) with a talented nucleus of seven returning letterwinners. It did take a while for the Miners to build team chemistry, as they suffered a pair of two-game losing streaks in their first 16 games of the season. But after stumbling at Houston on Jan. 13, UTEP reeled off 16 straight wins to tie the second-longest streak in school history. The Miners won eight games by 10 points or less during the streak, and rallied from halftime deficits on six occasions. Highlighting the streak was a triumph at Memphis on Jan putting a stop to the Tigers NCAA record-tying 64-game winning streak. UTEP also won at UAB, in double overtime, completed a season sweep of Tulsa with a victory at the Reynolds Center, and ended Marshall s seven-game run of victories by prevailing in Huntington. The Miners were 4-0 on the road against teams ranked two through five in the C-USA standings. In his third season with the Miners, Randy Culpepper was appointed the C-USA Player of the Year. He is averaging 18.0 points per game -- third in the league -- while hiking his field goal percentage from.410 in to.473. Culpepper has also raised his three-point field goal percentage (from.346 to.369) and assist/ turnover ratio (from 0.80 to 1.07). Culpepper has the top two scoring games in the league this season, pinning 45 points on East Carolina and 39 on UCF. Against the Pirates, he set school and C-USA records for points in a half (31 in the first 20 minutes) while registering the second-top scoring total in league history. Since becoming eligible on Dec. 13, Caracter has given the Miners the dominant big man that they have lacked for many years. He is averaging 13.8 points and 8.0 rebounds with seven doubledoubles while shooting 55.6 percent from the field. Caracter enters the NCAA Tournament having scored in double digits in 11 of his last 13 outings. Far from a two-man team, UTEP has three other players (Williams, Arnett Moultrie, Polk) averaging between 9.6 and 10.1 points per game -- making this one of the most balanced offensive teams in school history. UTEP posted 14 wins in Barbee s first season, 19 in his second, 23 in his third and has 26 thus far in The Miners C-USA mark has improved annually from 6-10 to 8-8 to 10-6 and The Miners advanced to the championship series of the College Basketball Invitational led by Jackson, who ended his prolific career as both UTEP and Conference USA s all-time leading scorer. Jackson led the nation in free throws made (312) and attempted (374) as a senior, and averaged 24.5 points per game to rank fifth nationally. He was one of only two players in the country to score 900 points in , joining Davidson standout Stephen Curry. Jackson is UTEP s all-time leader with sixty-eight 20-point games, and ranks second with fifteen 30-point outings. A first team All-Conference USA selection for the second year in a row, Jackson was one of three UTEP players to be honored by the league in 09. Culpepper was appointed third team All-Conference, and Moultrie was tabbed to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Culpepper became the first Miner to reach 1,000 points as a sophomore. He also set school records for three-pointers made in

41 UTEP MINERS a season (89). Moultrie was the first UTEP player since the 1960 s to collect 300 rebounds in a season. He was also the first freshman to lead the team in rebounding since Moultrie tied the UTEP freshman record by pulling down 18 rebounds in a victory at Houston. The Miners campaign got off to a great start at the 76 Classic in Anaheim, Calif. UTEP knocked off eventual 28-game winner Saint Mary s, 75-62, on the first day of the tournament before dropping a narrow decision to Wake Forest, which went on to finish Other highlights from the non-conference schedule included a rout of Texas Tech at the Don Haskins Center -- the Miners first victory over the Red Raiders since and a triumph at New Mexico, UTEP s first double-figure win at The Pit since It was only New Mexico s second loss in its last 40 non-conference home games. UTEP won eight of its last 11 Conference USA games to nab the fourth seed and a first round bye in the league tournament. The Miners finished 5-3 in league road games and notched eight road wins for the first time since When Barbee was named UTEP s 17th head coach on Aug. 14, 2006, he vowed to win in March. His plan has reached fruition over the last three years, as the Miners reached the semifinals of the C-USA Tournament in 2008 and the CBI Championship Series in Miner fans embraced the team s run to the CBI Finals, as UTEP sold out both home games against Oregon State. It marked the first time that UTEP played before a packed house in the Don Haskins Center in three years. Other highlights from the season included the Miners setting school records for points scored, free throws made and free throws attempted. Sophomore guard Julyan Stone also shattered the school standard by dishing out 236 assists. During the season, the Miners advanced to the semifinals of the C-USA Tournament and participated in the inaugural CBI. Seeded sixth in the C-USA Tourney, the Miners knocked off 11th seeded SMU and third seed Houston before coming up short against seventh seed Tulsa in overtime. UTEP regained its home dominance in , posting a 13-3 mark in the friendly confines of the Don Haskins Center, including 7-1 in C-USA action. The Miners were more than competitive on the road, losing a couple of nailbiters to eventual NCAA Tournament participants Texas A&M (81-76) and Memphis (70-64). In fact, UTEP lost six away games by eight points or less. The Miners had a 10-point lead in the second half at Texas A&M and led top-ranked Memphis with under four minutes remaining at the FedExForum. UTEP was third in C-USA in scoring offense (76.6 ppg), steals (7.7 spg) and turnover margin (+4.06). UTEP forced a school-record 573 turnovers after forcing 572 in Barbee s first year at the helm of the team.
