 SRES 268 ES
S. Res. 268
In the Senate of the United States,
April 5 (legislative day, January 23), 1990.
Whereas the University of Nevada at Las Vegas has consistently produced one of
the Nation's outstanding Division I men's basketball teams, the Runnin' Rebels;
Whereas the head coach and assistant coaches have led the Runnin' Rebels to
three final four appearances and one of the highest percentages of wins in
National Collegiate Athletic Association men's basketball;
Whereas UNLV defeated Duke by the largest margin of victory in NCAA Men's
Basketball Championship history (103-73) and is the only team to score over
100 points in a championship game;
Whereas three team members have been named to the All-Tournament Team,
one member has been named as a first selection All-American, and one member
represented his country in basketball during the 1988 Olympic Games; and
Whereas one team member epitomized the spirit and courage of the Runnin'
Rebels by playing throughout the entire tournament with a broken jaw: Now,
therefore, be it
  Resolved, That the Senate commends the Runnin' Rebels of the University
  of Nevada at Las Vegas for winning the 1990 National Collegiate Athletic
  Association Men's Basketball Championship.
Attest:
Secretary.
