# 2023–24 Georgetown Hoyas women's basketball team

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

The Hoyas finished the 2022–23 season 14–17, 6–14 in Big East play to finish in a tie for eighth place. As the #9 seed in the Big East tournament, they defeated #8 seed Butler in the first round, before falling to top-seeded and eventual tournament champions UConn in the quarterfinals.
On March 13, 2023, the school announced that head coach James Howard's contract would not be renewed, ending his six-year tenure. On April 11, Georgia Tech associate head coach Tasha Butts was named the team's next head coach. 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. On October 23, it was announced that Butts had died at the age of 41, after a two-year battle with breast cancer.
