Top 10

Quick, name all the colleges and universities that have had both their men’s and women’s basketball teams reach the top 10 in the Associated Press’s poll over the past two seasons?

Some hints:

Only 20 different women’s teams have been in the top 10 over the past two seasons, while 35 men’s teams have made it into the top 10 during that stretch. Now among that group of schools, only 10 have seen both their men’s and women’s teams ranked for at least one week in the top 10 since the first poll of the 2005-2006 season. And, yes there is one school that had its men’s team make the top 10 for one week and is thus included in the list. One women’s also reached No. 10 in the rankings to qualify its school for the list.

More clues needed?

Among the 10, nine are from BCS-conference schools. Yes, that’s right there is one school that isn’t from one of the major conferences. Oh, and of the six major conferences, only the Pac-10 failed to have a school ranked in both top 10s.

Two schools have both their men’s and women’s teams achieve the top ranking in the nation at some point over the past two seasons.

All right, enough with the clues, here’s the list (with the top ranking achieved by both the men and women)…

Connecticut
Women: 4, Men: 1

Duke
Women: 1, Men: 1

George Washington
Women: 8, Men: 6

LSU
Women: 2, Men 5

Michigan State
Women: 9, Men: 5

North Carolina
Women: 1, Men: 1

Ohio State
Women: 2, Men: 2

Oklahoma
Women: 3, Men: 5

Tennessee
Women: 1, Men: 8

Texas A&M
Women: 10, Men: 6

Oh, and if you were wondering, the Tennessee men and the Texas A&M women were the two schools that only made it into the top 10 for one week to qualify for this list.

Surprised by any school on the list? Any college you would’ve expected to see on the list that wasn’t there? Post your comments below and tell what you think about these school and which teams could be added to the list in the near future, if any.
