   CONGRATULATING SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY'S MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Ms. JACOBS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACOBS. Madam Speaker, I rise today as an incredibly proud San 
Diegan and the proud daughter of an SDSU alum to congratulate San Diego 
State University for making it to the Final Four for the first time in 
program history.
  After the tournament was canceled in 2020 during one of SDSU's best 
seasons, our dreams of a championship appearance were dashed.
  This team has risen to the challenge, and this year's tournament has 
been electric for SDSU, defying the odds and expectations set against 
them.
  Led by Coach Brian Dutcher, they have been focused, steady, and 
resilient. They beat No. 1 seed Alabama 71-64 in the Sweet 16. They 
beat Creighton 57-56 after senior Darrion Trammell sank a free throw 
with 1.2 seconds left in the game.
  Out of 363 Division I men's basketball teams, SDSU has outlasted all 
but three. They will face off against Florida Atlantic this weekend.
  With more than 400,000 alumni, our entire community and all of 
California are behind you and rooting for you.
  Let's go, San Diego State.
