“it is with profound pride--and I suppose I should add provincial pleasure--that I join Senator Dodd and all of our colleagues from Connecticut in introducing this resolution, which is the legislative equivalent of wagging our tails and howling like huskies at the Capitol dome. We are very proud to salute the 2002 national champion University of Connecticut women's Huskies basketball team, who, on March 31, capped a 39-to-0 season--a perfect season--the ninth undefeated run in the whole history of college basketball, with a victory over Oklahoma in the title game. This fantastic season leads me to repeat a pressing question that opponents of the UConn women's basketball team must have been asking all year, which is: Who let the Huskies out? I think the answer might be the great Coach Geno Auriemma and his superb staff, who not only coached but led, inspired, and mentored this extraordinary group of women to this extraordinary season.”
