          UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN IOWA'S MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

 Mr. HARKIN. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to 
extend my heartfelt congratulations to the University of Northern 
Iowa's men's basketball team on their Missouri Valley Conference 
Championship. The Panthers vanquished Southwest Missouri State in 
double overtime, clinching a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Coach Greg 
McDermott has proven his mettle in his 3 years as head coach, and now 
UNI is heading to the Big Dance for the first time in 14 years. I wish 
them luck there, and will be cheering for them alongside all 
Iowans.
