          CONGRATULATING UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT LITTLE ROCK

  (Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for earning berths in both 
the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournament as champions of the 
Sun Belt Conference. UALR's sweep of the Sun Belt titles makes them the 
first school to do so since 2008.
  For the Lady Trojans, this is their first Sun Belt championship and 
their second consecutive trip to the tournament. For the Trojans, this 
is also their first Sun Belt championship and their first visit to the 
NCAA tournament since 1990.
  Congratulations to coaches Steve Shields and Joe Foley, as well as 
athletic director Chris Peterson, for their leadership this 
championship season. Congratulations, also, to the young men and women 
of UALR basketball. Thank you for representing your school, the City of 
Little Rock, and the State of Arkansas.
  We are rooting for you.
