   RECOGNIZING PRINCETON UNIVERSITY FOR WINNING THE IVY LEAGUE MEN'S 
        BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP AND GOING TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSH D. HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 15, 2001

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the hard work of the 
Princeton University Tigers men's basketball team who won the Ivy 
League basketball title earlier this month with a 68-52 victory over 
the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this victory gives the 
Tigers their eight Ivy League Championship in 13 years and an automatic 
bid to the ``big dance.''
  The 12th Congressional District of New Jersey has a proud tradition 
of sending teams into battle during ``March Madness.'' This is 
Princeton University's 23rd Ivy League title. As the field begins to 
fill out I salute the courage and determination of the Princeton Tigers 
and wish them great success and a full dance card.
