  Mr. ALLRED. Madam Speaker, I am honored to congratulate the Baylor 
University men's basketball team for their historic achievement in 
winning the 2021 NCAA national championship.
  This marks the very first men's basketball championship in the 
history of the school, and it caps off an incredible season in which 
the team held a 28-2 record and were the Big 12 regular season 
champions.
  I played college football at Baylor; and I know that it is a place 
filled with committed,

student-athletes who work together to achieve great things. It takes a 
tremendous amount of hard work, practice, and teamwork to reach this 
level of success, and those qualities abound in this team.
  In a basketball season like no other, this accomplishment was hard-
fought, and it reflects the dedication of each and every player, the 
leadership of Coach Scott Drew and the team's entire coaching and 
support staff as well as all their families and friends.
  An achievement such as this does not happen without the support of an 
entire community.
  It is such a privilege to recognize this outstanding group for their 
dedication, perseverance, and ultimately success in bringing a 
championship home to Baylor.
  As a former Bear, I could not be prouder. Sic 'em.
