Reps. Courtney & Wasserman Schultz Place Friendly Wager on Florida-UConn Men's NCAA Final Four Matchup

04/04/14
 
WASHINGTON - Representatives Joe Courtney (CT-02) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) announced a friendly wager on Saturday’s NCAA Final Four Semifinal contest between the UConn Huskies and the University of Florida Gators men’s basketball teams.
 
Congressman Joe Courtney, a UConn Law School graduate, represents Storrs, Connecticut which is home to the UConn Huskies and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a proud two-time University of Florida graduate.
 
“Florida has looked strong in this year’s NCAA tournament, but we can’t forget the last team the Gators fell to this season: UConn,” said Courtney.  “The Gators have already gotten a taste of Shabazz Napier’s last-second heroics, and with him and Kevin Ollie leading this UConn team, I’m confident we’ll see them playing again Monday for the National Championship.”
 
"As a Gator fan who bleeds orange and blue, I'm thrilled our guys have made it back to the Final Four of the Big Dance,” said Wasserman Schultz. “Unlike their last game versus UConn, the Gators are playing at full strength and with legendary coach Billy Donovan at the helm, Florida is just one Husky road-kill away en route to their 3rd basketball championship." 
 
If Florida should win, Congressman Courtney will provide a gift basket of eastern Connecticut signature treats including Munson’s Chocolates, Selbuort Valley Farms Maple Syrup, Cato Corner Cheese, Deep River Chips, Jarmoc cigars and Cottrell Beer.
 
If UConn should win, Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz will provide platters from the Gainesville institution Burrito Bros. Taco Co., which will include their epic burritos and famous guac.
 
While Representatives Wasserman Schultz and Courtney may disagree on who will win the game, they wish both teams the best of luck. Both districts and states should be proud of their student athletes.
