WARNING TO COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 45 (Tuesday, March 11, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 45 (Tuesday, March 11, 2025)] [House] [Pages H1081-H1082] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] WARNING TO COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY (Mr. McDOWELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McDOWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer a warning to college basketball teams across our country: The Panthers are coming. For the first time in history, the High Point University men's and women's basketball teams have both [[Page H1082]] punched their tickets to the March Madness tournament. The men's team clinched their spot with a Sunday night victory over Winthrop, coming back from a 15-point deficit. The women's team punched their ticket by winning the Big South tournament against Longwood University. Together, these teams have made history, and they are not stopping now. To anyone unfortunate enough to be facing the Panthers later this month, good luck. You are going to need it. Mr. Speaker, I say to both teams that Guilford County and the entire Sixth District of North Carolina are with them. May they remember their values: God, family, and country. Let's choose to be extraordinary and bring it home. ____________________
