“Vince Lombardi, the legendary NFL coach once said, ``Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.'' That beautiful statement, I think, really describes to a ``T'' the UConn women's basketball team, which today stands as a history-making organization with 78 straight wins. They are now only 9 wins short of catching the record by the UCLA men's basketball team led by Coach Wooden back in the 1960s. And there are a lot of us in Connecticut, and I am proud to represent the district where the University of Connecticut is located, who are confident that we are actually going to see that milestone fall sometime during next year's basketball season because of the amazing talent that has been assembled at the University of Connecticut campus, but also the system that Coach Auriemma has put together over the last number of years. Again, I want to thank the other Members who have gone through chapter and verse, in terms of the incredible season, which the UConn women accomplished.”
