Rankings from AP poll

The 2023–24 Georgetown Hoyas women's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Hoyas, led by interim head coach Darnell Haney, played their home games at McDonough Arena in Washington, D.C. as a member of the Big East Conference.

Previous season

[edit]

The Hoyas finished the 2022–23 season 14–17, 6–14 in Big East play to finish in a tie for eighth place.[1] As the #9 seed in the Big East tournament, they defeated #8 seed Butler in the first round,[2] before falling to top-seeded and eventual tournament champions UConn in the quarterfinals.[3]

On March 13, 2023, the school announced that head coach James Howard's contract would not be renewed, ending his six-year tenure.[4] On April 11, Georgia Tech associate head coach Tasha Butts was named the team's next head coach.[5] On September 21, the school announced that Butts would be taking a leave of absence, in order to focus on her ongoing battle with breast cancer, with associate head coach Darnell Haney being named interim head coach in her absence.[6] On October 23, it was announced that Butts had died at the age of 41, after a two-year battle with breast cancer.[7]
