“Very briefly, I would love to just say, Mr. Speaker, that this basketball team and the teams that Lew Perkins has put together, the athletic director, have brought Connecticut together. I represent a part of Connecticut closer to New York City, and sometimes my constituents think they vote for the Governor of New York instead of Connecticut. But this basketball team has done an amazing job of making all of us so proud and feel so much a part of Connecticut. I would say one other thing. When we watch this team, we are not going to see their names on the back of their Jerseys because Geno points out that they are all a team, and no one is better than the other. Their names are not there. They are the team, the UConn Huskies. They do a great job.”
