# 2022–23 Kansas Jayhawks women's basketball team

The 2022–23 Kansas Jayhawks women's basketball team represented the University of Kansas in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Jayhawks were led by eighth-year head coach Brandon Schneider. They played their home games at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas as members of the Big 12 Conference. Kansas finished the season 25–11 and was not selected for the NCAA tournament. They were, however, selected for the Women's NIT, which they won for the first time in program history.

## Previous season

The Jayhawks finished the season 21–10, 11–7 in Big 12 play, to finish in a tie for fifth place. As the fifth seed in the Big 12 tournament, they lost to Oklahoma in the quarterfinals. They received an at-large bid to the 2022 NCAA tournament, which was their first since 2013, where they defeated Georgia Tech before losing in the second round to Stanford.
