You probably CAN do it if you bias the second input correctly. This might mean, for example, biasing one input at Vref/2. Or, you might bias both inputs from a common voltage divider and AC-couple the signal into the active input. But you will need to watch out for impedance errors (impedance can't be too high or there will be errors due to current flowing into the S/H when it pulses).
