Can you name the pairs of NCAA Division I basketball and football teams whose nicknames begin with the same letter and who met in their respective championship game?
You must name BOTH nicknames, in either order. Championship games include the men's basketball tournament since 1939, the women's basketball tournament since 1982, and I-AA/FBS football championship games dating to 1992. For college football championship games, the year listed refers to the year of the corresponding regular season, NOT the year the game was played.
**PLEASE NOTE: Many women's programs, including basketball, use a variant of the primary nickname, usually beginning with "Lady". This would create a lot of arbitrary matches, so for the purposes of this quiz, that portion of the name is disregarded. So "Lady Bears" would be a match for "Bruins" but not "Lady Vols". Keep in mind there may still be a difference between the men's name and the women's, even sans "Lady".
