† 2024 WAC tournament winner |
The 2023–24 Tarleton State Texans women's basketball team represented Tarleton State University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Texans, who were led by first-year head coach Bill Brock, played their home games at the Wisdom Gym in Stephenville, Texas, as members of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
This season marked Tarleton State's final year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Texans were not eligible to play in the NCAA tournament, but were eligible to play in the WAC tournament.
Previous season
[edit]The Texans finished the 2022–23 season 8–21, 2–16 in WAC play, to finish in 13th (last) place.[1] Due to the WAC's new Resume Seeding ranking, which is an advanced analytic developed by Ken Pomeroy that incorporated the performance of teams in both conference and non-conference games,[2] they failed to qualify for the WAC tournament, as only the top 12 teams qualify.[3]
On March 2, 2023, it was announced that the school would be parting ways with head coach Misty Wilson, ending her nine-year tenure.[4] On March 14, the school announced that longtime Baylor assistant coach Bill Brock would be named the Texans' new head coach.[5]
