A sweep this year would mark the third time in college basketball history that one school won both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s titles in the same year. UConn did it both previous times, in 2004 and 2014.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 WFSB. All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STORRS, Conn.
