CONGRATULATING DUKE BASKETBALL
(Mr. LIPINSKI asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, as a proud graduate of Duke University's
Graduate School, I rise today to honor the Duke men's basketball team
and their coach, Mike Krzyzewski, who recently won the NCAA title.
The 2015 Duke men's basketball team was led by veteran senior guard
Quinn Cook and freshman Chicagoan Jahlil Okafor, who was named ACC
Player of the Year and was a unanimous All-American selection. Coach K
led the team to a 35-4 record and the national title with a hard-fought
victory over Wisconsin in the title game.
Coach K, a Polish American from Chicago, has won more men's college
basketball games than any other coach in history--over 1,000, including
945 wins and five NCAA titles at Duke. And, as all college basketball
fans

know, there is no place to see a game like Cameron.
Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing the
outstanding achievement of the 2015 Duke University men's basketball
team and Coach Mike Krzyzewski on winning the 2015 NCAA Tournament
championship.
