  To commend and congratulate the University of Kentucky on its men's 
   basketball team winning its seventh National Collegiate Athletic 
                       Association championship.

Whereas the University of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team defeated the 
        University of Utah's team on March 30, 1998, in San Antonio, Texas, to 
        win its seventh National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) 
        championship;
Whereas, the Wildcats overcame the largest halftime deficit in a championship 
        game, earning for themselves the nickname ``The Comeback Cats'';
Whereas, Coach Tubby Smith, his staff, and his players displayed outstanding 
        dedication, teamwork, unselfishness, and sportsmanship throughout the 
        course of the season in achieving collegiate basketball's highest honor; 
        and
Whereas Coach Smith and the Wildcats have brought pride and honor to the 
        Commonwealth of Kentucky, which is rightly known as the basketball 
        capital of the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends and congratulates the University 
of Kentucky on its outstanding accomplishment.
    Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy of this 
resolution to the president of the University of Kentucky.
