Bill > SRes233

This resolution commends and congratulates the University of Florida men's basketball team, known as the Florida Gators, for winning the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship on April 7, 2025, with a 65-63 victory over the University of Houston Cougars. The resolution highlights several key achievements, including this being the team's third national championship and their first under Coach Todd Golden, who at the time was the eighth youngest coach to win the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship. The resolution also recognizes Walter Clayton, Jr., who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, and Will Richard, who led the team with 18 points and 8 rebounds in the championship game. Additionally, the resolution notes the University of Florida's unique distinction of being the only NCAA Division I school to hold national titles in both men's basketball and football in multiple years, and in the same year. The Senate officially commends the team, congratulates its fans, students, and faculty, and requests that an enrolled copy of the resolution be sent to the university's interim president, athletic director, and head basketball coach.
