                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

  Mr. Blumenthal (for himself and Mr. Murphy) submitted the following

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION

 
   Commending and congratulating the University of Connecticut men's 
   basketball team for winning the 2024 National Collegiate Athletic 
               Association Men's Basketball Championship.

Whereas, on Monday, April 8, 2024, the University of Connecticut's men's 
        basketball team (referred to in this preamble as the ``UConn Huskies'') 
        won the 2024 National Collegiate Athletic Association (referred to in 
        this preamble as the ``NCAA'') Men's Basketball Championship with a 75-
        60 win over the Purdue University Boilermakers;
Whereas this is the UConn Huskies' sixth national championship, continuing the 
        team's undefeated streak in national championship games;
Whereas this is the UConn Huskies' second consecutive national championship, 
        becoming only the eighth NCAA Division I men's basketball team to 
        accomplish this feat;
Whereas the UConn Huskies earned all 6 national titles since 1999, a feat that 
        no other college team has surpassed during that time;
Whereas Tristen Newton was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA 
        tournament, averaging 14.5 points per game;
Whereas the UConn Huskies won every NCAA tournament game by 14 points or more 
        for a second straight year and set the record this year for the largest 
        margin of victory over its 6-game run with 140 combined points; and
Whereas, because the University of Connecticut is also home to the most 
        successful NCAA Division I women's basketball program, having won a 
        record 11 national championships and appearing in their twenty-third 
        Final Four this year, Storrs, Connecticut, is the Basketball Capital of 
        the World: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commends the University of Connecticut men's basketball 
        team for winning the 2024 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 
        transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to--
                    (A) the President of the University of Connecticut, 
                Radenka Maric; and
                    (B) the Head Coach of the University of Connecticut 
                men's basketball team, Dan Hurley.
                                 <all>
