UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT BASKETBALL
(Mr. LARSON of Connecticut asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I rise with a great sense of
pride on behalf of the entire delegation of the State of Connecticut
who are, indeed, honored again to be national champions. Our entire
delegation will have an extended period of time in which we can amplify
the great accomplishments of the University of Connecticut.
For an unprecedented second time, first and foremost, our women's
basketball team went undefeated and was perfect, as they are; and of
course, the men's team down in Ralph Hall's great State of Texas, where
we have won the national championship three times, again, was able to
win the national championship in Kevin Ollie's first year as the coach
when the team was eligible for it.
This is remarkable. Fourteen national championships in the game of
basketball. We are very proud not only of our coaches and our student
athletes, but of all the hard work and effort that goes into this.
Our delegation will be down here at another time to further extoll
the virtues of the University of Connecticut and the great State it
represents.
