Actually, it happened twice in 2001 (from ESPN.com):

"The Volunteers are the first team since the 2001-02 season to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 team in the same season.

It happened twice that season:

• Oklahoma beat No. 2 Maryland on Dec. 21, 2001 and beat No. 1 Kansas on March 10, 2002.

• Maryland beat No. 2 Illinois on Nov. 27, 2001 and beat No. 1 Duke on Feb. 17, 2002."

OU and the Terps both made the Final Four, UM won it all.
