# 2024–25 Creighton Bluejays women's basketball team

The 2024–25 Creighton Bluejays women's basketball team represent Creighton University in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Bluejays, led by 23rd-year head coach Jim Flanery, play their home games at D. J. Sokol Arena and are members of the Big East Conference.

## Previous season

The #22 ranked Bluejays began with an unexpected early season loss to the Green Bay Phoenix, but went 15–3 in Big East Conference play, with regular season losses only at #19 Marquette and both contests with #3 UConn. Creighton fell in the semifinals of the 2023–24 Big East Tournament, but was invited to the 2024 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament region as a #7 seed. The Bluejays won their opener but lost at sub-regional host UCLA. Creighton ranked #23 at season's completion.
