Deon Barrett

[Maximus Miner]

Great comeback by the Miners so far and how bout the 3 point shooting from the freshman. Win or lose he's gotta see more playing time and just maybe we have a little something going if Matt Wilms can just stay healthy. Even Kelvin Jones is also improving from tonight's performance.

 

[MineroFanatico]

OMG!!! 6 for 6 for Barrett.

Win or lose, whoever chose not to watch this game is missing out. Great heart by the outmatched Miners.

 

[unihorn]

WOW!!!

 

[PURPLEFIRE]

Have really liked him since seeing him first play!

 

[UTEPDefense]

I bet that whatever school Barrett transfers to next year will be thrilled with the way that he played tonight.

The Miner's played much better tonight. It was a tough loss, but at least there is some hope for this season after tonight's performance and the emergence of Barrett. The problem is that Floyd's history has taught us not to get excited about young players. We had a newcomer(Lee Moore) and an all-conference Freshman(Terry Winn) last year that we got excited about, only to see both of them gone half-a-year later. Sorry, just don't want to get fooled again.

Could only listen on radio, but I'm dumbfounded.

I'm not because I know UTEP sucks at free throws.

 

[shyminer81]

Hope he takes some of Touchets playing time...

I could only listen as well. Barrett hit the big 3 to give us the lead with 30 seconds left, UNM called the time out, and out of nowhere Yellen screams out "Thank You Bob Stull!"

What on earth was he talking about?

Probably for allowing him to call a road game.

I heard that...senseless. Thought he wasn't doing road games.

I taught we couldn't afford to send Yellen on road games anymore?

Maybe he paid his way. What's Albuquerque but gas money?

If true that's some ghetto sh*t from our university.

He should take about 90% of it. Without question.

 

[UTEP05]

If true that's some ghetto sh*t from our university.

It is true that he doesn't go on the road anymore.

It figures that after three positive posts with no like posted by 05, he responds with a like on the first negative post. Not a Miner fan!!! Proved it once again. Just a troll who is always looking for nothing but the dark side. As I've pointed out to you before....never the slightest hint of upside from you.

Aww come on. You have to admit that was a funny line.

Doesn't matter -- Yellen can't get a word into Teicher's monologue anyway.

Hearing them is like watching Bob Uecker in Major League.

 

[Tucson_Miner]

Thank you Bob Stull ... that is SO STUPID lol

 

[miner1liner]

HUH???

The first four posts were positive. Nothing from you.The fifth post from UTEP DEFENSE got your attention.

Because the sarcasm was hilarious. Lighten up. You must be one of those people who gets mad when somebody doesn't like your Facebook posts. I don't just like every post I read.

What on earth was he talking about?

Looking back on what Yellen said, I think he was thanking Stull for working with UNM to bring the series back. Should've thanked both schools, but I think that's what it was about.

 

[kickballpro]

I used to hate Yellen, now it's so bad I get a laugh at it.

 

[shyminer81]

I've always enjoyed him. Sure he is a big homer, but so what. Teich is a D!ck and it balances out... lol

I think he was referring to Stull setting up the game with UNM.

See what I am taking about?? REAL teams support their team no matter what opponent comes in..... last night 11 000 show up in the pit against a crappy opponent

UNM wouldn't have 11K in the Pit if they were experiencing the depths we have the last several years. They are no more of a "REAL" team than we are. They are just more successful. Quite a bit more over the last 7 year stretch.

Did he pull a Mexican commentator?

UNM has been averaging over 15k in attendance since The Pit opened. Nothing new there.

So you admit we're a crappy team. That's good to acknowledge because we shouldn't be a crappy team in Floyds seventh year.

In the same time frame since Floyd was hired these are the achievements UNM has accomplished.

• Won 22 games beat UTEP in the NIT
• Won 28 games. Finished the season ranked #21. Won the MW tournament championship. Won the MW regular season championship. Won a game in the NCAA tournament.
• Won 29 games. Finished the season ranked #10. Won the MW tournament championship. Won the MW regular season championship. Made the NCAA tournament as a #3 seed.
• Won 27 games. Finished ranked #17 Won the MW tournament championship. Made the NCAA tournament.
• Finished the regular season at .500 15-15
• Finished the regular season at 17-14

The previous two years they have been in rebuilt mode. No emberrassing losses and they are making progress. All this in a much much tougher conference.

Give us similar results to what they have accomplished the past six years and we would also be averaging 11-12k per season.

Nice research. Thanks for putting it into even more perspective.
