Rankings from AP poll

The 2022–23 Florida State Seminoles women's basketball team, variously Florida State or FSU, represented Florida State University during the 2022–23 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. They were led by second year head coach Brooke Wyckoff, who previously served as interim head coach for the team during the 2020–21 season. The Seminoles played their home games at the Donald L. Tucker Center on the university's Tallahassee, Florida campus. They competed as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Seminoles finished the season 23–10 overall and 12–6 in ACC play to finish in a tie for fourth place. As the fifth seed in the ACC Tournament, they earned a bye into the Second round where they were upset by twelfth seed Wake Forest. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, marking the tenth consecutive year the team has qualified for the tournament. As the seventh seed in the Seattle 4 Region, they lost to ten seed Georgia to end their season. A contributing factor to their post season losses was the absence of Ta'Niya Latson who lead the team and the ACC in scoring during the regular season and won ACC Freshman of the Year.[1][2]

Previous season

[edit]
Main article: 2021–22 Florida State Seminoles women's basketball team

The Seminoles finished the season 17–14 overall and 10–8 in ACC play to finish in a three-way tie for seventh place. As the ninth seed in the ACC Tournament, they defeated eighth seed Boston College in the Second Round before losing to eventual champions, and first seed NC State in the Quarterfinals. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, marking the ninth consecutive year the team has qualified for the tournament. As an eleven seed, the team played a First Four match against Missouri State, which they lost, 51–60, to end their season.

On March 21, 2022, Sue Semrau announced her retirement after 24 seasons as FSU head coach.[3] She was succeeded by Seminoles associate head coach Brooke Wyckoff, who served as the interim head coach for the team during the 2020–21 season during Semrau's leave of absence.[4]
