last night, Duke University from the 4th Congressional District of North Carolina was crowned the national champion after the victory over the Arizona Wildcats 82-72 in the Final Four, the king of the NCAA. This is the first national championship for Duke since 1992. It is the third in their history, and we are as proud as we can be. But tonight, Mr. Speaker, we are not going to be hearing from me. We are going to be hearing from a couple of fine colleagues with whom I had an agreement going into this Final Four and who will be all too happy, I am sure, to don the Duke jersey and the Duke cap, and to read a script which they have agreed to deliver in homage to the Duke Blue Devils and their national championship. Let me say, before I yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), that Duke in this path to the national championship met not just Arizona, but the University of Maryland in the semifinal, University of Southern California, UCLA, University of Missouri, and Monmouth. We are the adversaries of all. We are as proud as we can be.
