Can Baylor match UConn's record?

[ed4ourgirls]

UConn is the only school to have won both the men's and women's championship in the same year.
And they did it twice.

This year Baylor is the most likely challenger with the men a 1 seed and the women a likely 2 seed.
It's unlikely that both teams will survive to the championship game, but it's possible.

What say you.

They have a legit shot.

It gives me one more reason to route against not just the Baylor women, but the Baylor men as well! I think the Baylor women have been jelling lately and would be a very dangerous threat to any of the top seeds. Last time I looked ESPN had Baylor as the number 2 seed in the Uconn bracket.

Baylor is not gonna win crap on the men's side. I wouldn't be shocked if they lost in the second round

I agree with Baylor, probably the best chance over the last couple of years as both teams are contenders. If Iowa's WBB team would start to play defense, they also have a chance as both teams are good offensive teams.

They have a shot. Last year would've been their best year though IMO with a really strong women's team playing at home until the Final Four and the men's team also a #1 seed. Their dangerous on the women's side but are considerably weaker compared to a year ago, and I think Gonzaga is going to be incredibly difficult for anyone to beat this season.

They could... or UConn can add to their record

As a Husky alum and a decades-long fan of both teams, it is my #1 rooting priority every March/April to pull as hard as I can for no other school besides UConn to ever pull this off. I always take a look at who’s left in the Sweet Sixteen of both brackets, and from that point on I can’t relax until every other school’s chance for dual titles is snuffed out.

Baylor men’s are going to prove you wrong

 

[UcMiami]

If I remember correctly Louisville is the only other school to play in both championship games - they of course won the easier one, but lost the second one.

Are you sure about that? Baylor has the best defensive backcourt in the nation and is a top-three title favorite.

Better hope Wisconsin wins its 1st round match

I just looked at their bracket, they do have a good shot to get to the final 4... if the Badgers win in round 1.

If they cut down the nets.... I'll order me the brightest green Baylor shirt and wear it all over town.

No, Louisville isn't the only other school.

~26 schools should be in both tourneys

other top teams:

• Michigan & Gonzaga -- #1 M and ~ #5 W
• Arkansas & WV -- #3 M and ~#4 W
• Iowa -- #2 M and ~#6 W
• TWSNBN BTSCAAPO -- #5 M and ~#3 W

Still not ringing any bells. Give us a hint!

I would argue UConn has as much chance to win both titles this year as Baylor does. The UConn men are mostly healthy now & are loaded with talent & a super-stud than can carry the team for 6 wins.

@UcMiami Both Duke teams made it to their respective finals in 1999.

Yeah, I know. Just pulling someones chain!

It would only have been better if Uconn women had won that year as well!

I just hope we Uconn fans aren't becoming like the 72 Dolphins - sad old men popping champaign each year when the last undefeated NFL team loses its first game.

I don't care for champaign. I did have a glass of milk though.

Just a friendly reminder. Will you post photos?
