The resolution honors the American University men's basketball team for their impressive performance during the 2024-2025 season in the NCAA and the Patriot League. The team finished with a 19-12 overall record and a 13-5 record in league play, earning co-champion honors for the regular season. Under the leadership of Coach Duane Simpkins, the Eagles achieved their first regular season championship in 16 years. Key players, including graduate student Matt Rogers and senior Elijah Stephens, made significant contributions, with Rogers setting multiple school records and earning several accolades, while Stephens became one of the few players in program history to surpass 1,000 points and 400 assists.

The Eagles set new season records for points scored, three-pointers made, and free-throw percentage, culminating in a sold-out arena during the Patriot League Tournament. The resolution concludes by formally recognizing the team's accomplishments and the impact they had on the university and the community, taking effect immediately upon passage.
