The 2023–24 North Texas Mean Green women's basketball team represented the University of North Texas during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Mean Green, led by first-year head coach Jason Burton, played their home games at the UNT Coliseum in Denton, Texas as first year members of the American Athletic Conference.

Previous season

[edit]

The Mean Green finished the 2022–23 season 11–20, 8–12 in C-USA play to finish in seventh place.[1] As the #7 seed in the C-USA tournament, they were upset by #10 seed UAB in the first round.[2] This was the Mean Green's final season as members of Conference USA, as they moved to the American Athletic Conference effective July 1, 2023.[3]

On March 20, 2023, it was announced that head coach Jalie Mitchell would be leaving the program after eight seasons at the helm.[4] A week later, on March 27, the school hired Texas A&M–Commerce head coach Jason Burton as the Mean Green's new head coach.[5]
