Alabama Women's Wheelchair Basketball Wins Sixth Consecutive National Title: Roll Call

Alabama women's wheelchair basketball took down UT Arlington 55-37 in the 2026 NIWBT National Championship on Saturday in Tucson, Arizona.

The Crimson Tide has now won the National Championship not one, not two, not three, but each of the last six years! Ryan Hynes has been the head coach for each of the titles, as he's helped lead UA's dynasty.

Ixhelt Gonzalez led the way for Alabama with 24 points on 9 of 17 from the field, 11 rebounds and seven assists — playing all 40 minutes. Bailey Moody also finished with a double-double, as she logged 11 points and a team-high 16 rebounds in 35 minutes of action.

The Crimson Tide's defense was stifling, and UT Arlington shooting 27.9 percent from the field (17 of 61) reflects that.

Alabama ends the season 22-3, including a 15-2 record against the conference. The Crimson Tide went 7-1 at home and 15-2 on the road.

Alabama 2026 basketball commit Jaxon Richardson shared why he chose the Crimson Tide over other programs with NBA.com's Krysten Peek: “During my visits, just getting to know the team, I just created a great bond with the guys. And then I just feel like the style they play, they play fast, which I think I’d definitely fit in and succeed in. They play an NBA style, so just helping you prepare and get ready. It should definitely be fun.”

Jaxon Richardson breaks down his commitment to Alabama, what he's learned from older brother Jase and dad Jason, his first dunk in 8th grade and what he's most looking forward to playing in the SEC next season.

This Date in Alabama Crimson Tide History:

April 5, 1968: It’s Dennis Homan Day in Muscle Shoals as the community honored the Alabama receiver and first-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in the January NFL lottery picks. Homan caught 54 passes for 820 yards and scored nine touchdowns during his final season with the Crimson Tide.

Alabama Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“You boys were eight and ten years old last time Alabama was on top. That was before any of you were paying much attention to it. What are you doing here? Tell me why you are here. If you are not here to win a national championship, you're in the wrong place. You boys are special. I don't want my players to be like other students. I want special people. You can learn a lot on the football field that isn't taught in the home, the church, or the classroom. There are going to be days when you think you've got no more to give and then you're going to give plenty more. You are going to have pride and class. You are going to be very special. You are going to win the national championship for Alabama."

— Coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant during his first meeting with his first team at Alabama in 1958.
