SENATE RESOLUTION 160--COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING THE UNIVERSITY OF 
    CONNECTICUT MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM FOR WINNING THE 2023 NATIONAL 
     COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION MEN'S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

  Mr. BLUMENTHAL (for himself and Mr. Murphy) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 160

       Whereas, on Monday, April 3, 2023, the University of 
     Connecticut's men's basketball team (referred to in this 
     preamble as the ``UConn Huskies'') won the 2023 National 
     Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Basketball Championship 
     with a 76-59 win over the San Diego State Aztecs at NRG 
     Stadium in Houston, Texas;
       Whereas this is the UConn Huskies' fifth national 
     championship, continuing the team's undefeated streak in 
     national championship games;
       Whereas the UConn Huskies earned all 5 national titles 
     since 1999, a feat that no other college team has surpassed;
       Whereas Adama Sanogo was named the Most Outstanding Player 
     of the tournament, averaging 19.7 points per game with 4 
     double-doubles; and
       Whereas the UConn Huskies won every National Collegiate 
     Athletic Association tournament game by 13 points or more, 
     becoming only the fifth team in history to do so: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) commends the University of Connecticut men's basketball 
     team for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic 
     Association Men's Basketball Championship;
       (2) congratulates the fans, students, and faculty of the 
     University of Connecticut; and
       (3) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate

     Maric; and

     basketball team, Dan Hurley.
