                  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.
