Commending The University of Florida men’s basketball team for winning the 2007 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Basketball Championship.

Whereas, the Gators entered the 2006–2007 season as the defending national champions and posted a 35–5 win-loss record during their second run for the title, finishing the season with a ten-game winning streak and securing the Southeastern Conference Championship, in addition to the 2007 NCAA Division I men’s basketball crown;

Whereas, Head Coach Billy Donovan joined elite company as he became one of only four active coaches to win multiple NCAA titles;

Whereas, University of Florida junior Corey Brewer was chosen as the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four;
