Barnes' success at Texas, a traditional football powerhouse, sparked interest in college basketball at the university and throughout the state. Hired in April 1998, the basketball program immediately displayed Barnes' impact. Despite playing with just seven scholarship players for the majority of the 1998–99 season — and opening the season with a 3-8 record — the Longhorns won 16 of their final 21 games, winning the regular season Big 12 conference championship by a two-game margin, and finishing the year at 19-13 and in the NCAA Tournament. Barnes received his third Big 12 Coach of the Year award on March 10, 2008.

"I don't know if we can guard Texas Tech for 40 minutes man-to-man. We were tired. Zone was good to us tonight."
"We're obviously taller, longer on the front line, so we're able to get those [rebounds]."
"That's college basketball. I just told them they needed to finish the game. An 18-point lead is nothing that can't be overcome and in February you expect teams to play hard."
"The team needs to keep getting smarter. And I think they played well against a team that brought out a lot of pressure all over the floor."
