# 2024–25 Bellarmine Knights women's basketball team

The 2024–25 Bellarmine Knights women's basketball team represents Bellarmine University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Knights, led by 13th-year head coach Chancellor Dugan, play their home games at Knights Hall in Louisville, Kentucky, as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

## Previous season

The Knights finished the 2023–24 season 10–19, 5–11 in ASUN play, to finish in tenth place. They were defeated by Jacksonville in the first round of the ASUN tournament.
The Knights were in the final year of a four-year transition from Division II to Division I, making the 2023–24 season the final season that they were ineligible for the NCAA tournament.
This was also the Knights' final season at Freedom Hall. Near the start of the 2024–25 school year, which coincided with the end of Bellarmine's transition to Division I, the school announced that home games would return to campus at Knights Hall.
