2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

[edit]

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.

Milestones and records

[edit]

Caitlin Clark

[edit]
  • November 12 – Clark joined Sabrina Ionescu as the only Division I players to collect a triple-double in four different seasons, recording 24 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in Iowa's 94–53 blowout of Northern Iowa. Clark also surpassed Megan Gustafson as Iowa's all-time scoring leader.[22]
  • December 6 – Clark became the 15th Division I women's player with 3,000 career points after a 35-point performance in Iowa's 67–58 win at Iowa State. She also became the first D-I player, male or female, with 3,000 points, 750 rebounds and 750 assists.[23]
  • December 30 – Clark passed Ohio State's Samantha Prahalis as the career assists leader in the Big Ten Conference during Iowa's 94–71 win against Minnesota.[24]
  • January 31, 2024 – Clark became the all-time scoring leader in Big Ten history, passing Ohio State's Kelsey Mitchell, during Iowa's 110–74 win at Northwestern. This also put Clark in second place on the Division I women's career scoring list, behind Kelsey Plum of Washington.[25]
  • February 11 – Clark became the sixth Division I player with 1,000 career assists, reaching the milestone during Iowa's 82–79 loss at Nebraska.[26]
  • February 15 – Clark surpassed Plum as the D-I career scoring leader with a long three-pointer less than 3 minutes into Iowa's home game against Michigan. She finished with a program-record 49 points, with Iowa winning 106–89.[27]
  • February 28 – In Iowa's 108–60 blowout of Minnesota, Clark reached three major milestones:[28]
    • She passed Lynette Woodard, whose career at Kansas from 1977–81 predated NCAA sponsorship of women's sports, as the career scoring leader in major-college women's basketball.
    • Clark became the all-time Division I women's leader for three-pointers in a season. Her 156 threes at this point in the season put her past Taylor Pierce, who had 154 for Idaho in the 2018–19 season.[29]
    • She became the second Division I women's player with 500 career three-pointers, after Taylor Robertson of Oklahoma from 2018 to 2023, and also passed Mitchell as the Big Ten career leader.[30]
  • March 3 – In Iowa's last regular-season game, and also the last regular-season game of her college career, Clark surpassed the career total of D-I men's scoring leader Pete Maravich shortly before halftime of the Hawkeyes' 93–83 win over Ohio State.[31]
  • March 8 – In the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament, Clark, who in her previous game had drawn level with Stephen Curry and Darius McGhee for the most three-pointers by any Division I player in a single season, surpassed both in Iowa's 95–62 win over Penn State, finishing the game with 164 this season.[32]
  • 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. In the process, Clark tied the record for most threes in an NCAA tournament game and became the D-I women's career leader in threes, passing the aforementioned Taylor Robertson.[35] Clark also set NCAA women's tournament records for career assists and threes.[36]
  • April 7 – Following Clark's final college game, Iowa's 87–75 loss to South Carolina in the 2024 national championship game, she reached the following season or career milestones:[37]
    • Division I women's record career scoring average of 28.42 points per game, fractionally ahead of the previous record by Mississippi Valley State's Patricia Hoskins (28.38).
    • First D-I player, male or female, with 200 three-pointers in a season (201).
    • First D-I women's player to average 5 threes in a season (5.15), passing Pierce's previous record.
    • Career leader in points (491) in D-I women's tournament history.

Other milestones and records

[edit]
  • January 14, 2024 – Syracuse's Dyaisha Fair became the 16th D-I women's player with 3,000 career points, reaching the milestone in the Orange's 83–82 win over Clemson. Fair played three seasons at Buffalo before transferring to Syracuse in 2022.[38]
  • January 21 – Tara VanDerveer became the winningest head coach in Division I history, recording her 1,203rd career win in Stanford's 65–56 win over Oregon State. The win put her ahead of retired Duke men's coach Mike Krzyzewski on the D-I career wins list.[39]
  • 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. Her 29 points gave her 920 for the season, passing previous leader Tina Hutchinson of San Diego State, who had set the record in 1983–84.[40]

Upsets

[edit]

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).

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.

All-America teams

[edit]

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 ten-member (plus ties) team. The NCAA does not recognize The Sporting News as an All-America selector in women's basketball.
