2024 Big West tournament winner

The 2023–24 UC San Diego Tritons women's basketball team represented the University of California, San Diego during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Tritons, led by 12th-year head coach Heidi VanDerveer, played their home games at LionTree Arena in La Jolla, California, as members of the Big West Conference.

The Tritons were ineligible for postseason tournaments, including the NCAA tournament, as they were in the final year of the four-year mandatory transition period to Division I.[1]

Previous season

[edit]

The Tritons finished the 2022–23 season 13–17, 10–10 in Big West play, to finish in sixth place.[2] Since they were in the third year of the four-year mandatory transition period to Division I, they were ineligible to participate in the Big West tournament.
