The 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season began on November 6, 2023. The regular season ended on March 17, 2024, with the 2024 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament beginning on March 20 and ended with the championship game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 7.^[1]

This season was the first for the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament, a secondary national tournament operated by the NCAA as a direct parallel to the men's National Invitation Tournament.

Rule changes

On May 5, 2023, the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee proposed a suite of rule changes for the 2023–24 season. These changes were approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel during its June 8 conference call:^{[2] [3]}

• Players judged to have flopped are warned on the first offense, with a technical foul to be issued for subsequent offenses. All flop calls after the first are added to the team foul count, but not to the individual players' foul counts.
• Flopping and delay of game were established as a new class of technical fouls assessed to the team and not to individuals.
• The restricted-area arc within the free-throw lane was reduced from an arc 4 feet (1.22 m) from the center of the basket to the area directly under the basket. Defenders can now draw charges at any location other than directly under the basket.
• Prerecorded or live video can be transmitted to the bench area during the game, on an optional basis. This had been an experimental rule since 2021–22, but is now permanent.
• The shot clock resets to 20 seconds for all offensive rebounds when the original shot has touched the rim.
• Red and amber lights can now be placed on the backboard.
• Schools no longer need to apply for a waiver to allow players to use religious headwear that is safe for competition.
• All numbers from 0–99 are now allowed. Previously, player numbers could only include digits from 0 to 5.

• March 9 – In Iowa's 95–68 win over Michigan in the Big Ten semifinals, Clark became the first player in D-I women's history to score at least 1,000 points in two different seasons, having done so in 2022–23. She also passed Mitchell as the all-time leading scorer in Big Ten tournament history.^[33]
• March 25 – Clark's 32 points in Iowa's 64–54 win over West Virginia in the second round of the NCAA tournament put her past Plum for the most points in a single season in D-I women's history.^[34]
• April 1 – In a rematch of the 2023 championship game, Clark's 41 points, including nine three-pointers, led Iowa to a 94–87 win over LSU in the Region 2 final, giving the Hawkeyes a second straight Final Four berth.

• April 1 – In UConn's 80–73 win over USC in the Region 3 final of the NCAA tournament, USC's JuJu Watkins set a new Division I single-season freshman scoring record.

Arenas

New arenas

• Austin Peay left the on-campus Winfield Dunn Center for the new F&M Bank Arena in downtown Clarksville, Tennessee after 49 seasons. The new arena opened on July 15, 2023. The first basketball event was a joint practice by the men's and women's teams on October 26.^{[43] [44]} The first official games consisted of a men's and women's doubleheader on November 6, with the women losing 75–59 to Division II Trevecca Nazarene in the first game.^[45]
• Baylor left the Ferrell Center for the new Foster Pavilion. The Bears' first game in the new arena was a 71–50 win over TCU on January 3, 2024,^[46] a day after the arena opened with the Baylor men defeating Cornell 98–79.^[47]
• Georgia Southern will leave the Hanner Fieldhouse for the new Jack and Ruth Ann Hill Convocation Center. The venue was scheduled to open in the early fall of 2023, but was delayed until 2024–25 season.^[48]
• Longwood left Willett Hall for the new Joan Perry Brock Center; the venue opened on August 25, 2023. The team played its first game there on November 11, 2023, against St. Mary's of Maryland.^{[49] [50]}
• Vermont was originally slated to open the new Tarrant Event Center, the replacement for Patrick Gym, in 2021. However, the new arena has since been placed on indefinite hold. Construction was initially halted by COVID-19. With the Tarrant Center being part of a much larger upgrade of UVM's athletic and recreation facilities, UVM chose to prioritize a new student recreation center. Construction of the Tarrant Center is now being hampered by increased borrowing costs.^[51]

Upsets

An upset is a victory by an underdog team. In the context of NCAA Division I women's basketball, this generally constitutes an unranked team defeating a team currently ranked in the top 25. This list will highlight those upsets of ranked teams by unranked teams as well as upsets of No. 1 teams. Rankings are from the AP poll. Bold type indicates winning teams in "true road games"—i.e., those played on an opponent's home court (including secondary homes). Italics type indicates winning teams in an early-season tournament (or event). Early-season tournaments are tournaments played in the early season. Events are the tournaments with the same teams in it every year (even rivalry games).

Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament

See main article: 2024 Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament.

The 2023–24 season was the first for the WBIT, created by the NCAA as a direct parallel to the men's National Invitation Tournament. Like the NIT, the WBIT features 32 teams. The NCAA extends WBIT bids to all regular-season conference champions that fail to reach the NCAA tournament (if eligible), a practice that it abandoned for the NIT after that tournament's 2023 edition. All games before the semifinals are at campus sites, with the semifinals and final at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Semifinals and finals

Women's National Invitation Tournament

See main article: 2024 Women's National Invitation Tournament.

The 2023–24 season was the 26th for the WNIT, which featured 48 teams that were not selected for either the NCAA Tournament or the WBIT.

Semifinals and finals

Award winners

All-America teams

See main article: 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball All-Americans.

The NCAA has never recognized a consensus All-America team in women's basketball. This differs from the practice in men's basketball, in which the NCAA uses a combination of selections by the Associated Press (AP), the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), The Sporting News, and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) to determine a consensus All-America team. The selection of a consensus team is possible because all four organizations select at least a first and second team, with only the USBWA not selecting a third team. Before the 2017–18 season, it was impossible for a consensus women's All-America team to be determined because the AP had been the only body that divided its women's selections into separate teams. The USBWA first named separate teams in 2017–18. The women's counterpart to the NABC, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), continues the USBWA's former practice of selecting a single 10-member (plus ties) team. The NCAA does not recognize The Sporting News as an All-America selector in women's basketball.
