Question for the Board 9 or even bored

UConn is the only school to win men and women's titles in the same year. But has there been any other school which had the two teams in the finals?

iirc Duke has at least once I believe as well as L'ville this year.

Might want to ask that question of the Duke fans who can remember 1999 when the Husky cinderella guys who had spent much of the year as the #1 ranked team were 9.5 underdogs to the Devils but shook things up in the finals. Purdue's women played the Devilettes that year, and won.

I looked it up. I can find, since 1982 when the NCAA first sponsored a women's championship, only Duke (1999, both lost), UConn (2004), and now Louisville (2013, men won, women TBD) have had both teams in the finals in the same year.

Thanks!

We've done it twice. Both our men's and women's team were in the Final Four in 2009 too. Women won. Men lost to Michigan State.

As far as schools that have had both teams in the Final Four the same year, there's also Georgia in 1983 and Oklahoma in 2002.
