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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.

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.
 
~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
 
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.

If Didi Richards doesn't get injured, Baylor probably has a Dual Championship. They would have beaten UConn and I don't think Aari McDoanald has the same game against Baylor that she had against UConn. The Stanford vs Baylor game is a tossup and who knows which team win. I do like Baylor's chances more then I did Arizona prior to the Stanford vs Arizona game. Just shows how luck and skill goes into a school winning the Dual Championship.
