On the recordMarch 17, 2016
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the University of Arkansas at Little Rock men's basketball team on their successful 2015- 2016 season. On Saturday, February 28, the Trojans won their first outright Sun Belt Conference title after 25 seasons in the league. In the first year under Chris Beard's leadership as head coach, the team embarked on one of the greatest turnarounds in the program's history, improving on a 13-18 record 1 year ago to a current record of 26 wins and 3 losses. They are now moving on to victories, and I look forward to their continued success. As we see on the eve of March Madness, I look forward to seeing their big win against Purdue. ____________________
