Alabama opened its women’s basketball preseason with a 105-62 exhibition win over UAH in Birmingham, with five Crimson Tide players scoring in double figures and the team forcing 22 turnovers. A photo gallery documented the matchup at Boutwell Auditorium. Florida State was set to face Auburn at the same venue in the 2026 Ballin in Boutwell preseason event, as the Seminoles prepared for a season with 12 newcomers. Navy was also preparing for its first of three exhibitions, hosting UMBC in a free Saturday game at Alumni Hall; the Mids are coming off a 26-8 season and a Patriot League regular-season title, while UMBC reached the NCAA Tournament First Four last season.
