The University of Alabama men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball teams spent spring break collecting rings as both teams earned national champion titles.

UA’s Stran-Hardin Arena hosted the women’s tournament March 8-11, where they defeated the University of Texas-Arlington Mavericks 88-41 to claim the Tide’s ninth championship title and third in a row. The 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19.
