Has any school won both the men's and women's championship the same year?

There is a possibility that UCONN could do it again this year. Their women's team looks head and shoulders above any other team, and their men's team , who knows ?

Oklahoma's chances are pretty good this year too.

I write about this every year. Connecticut is the only school to win both titles the same season. Duke made both championship games in 1999. Here are the Division I teams that double dipped the Final Four:

1983: Georgia
1999: Duke
2002: Oklahoma
2003: Texas
2004: Connecticut
2005: Michigan State
2006: LSU

This year, like recent years, is fairly typical in having the same schools in both polls. Connecticut, Oklahoma, UNC, Louisville, and Duke look doubly good. You could also make an argument for Baylor, Pittsburgh, Xavier, Notre Dame, Texas, and Ohio State.
