Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023–24 Michigan State Spartans women's basketball team represented Michigan State University as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Spartans, were led by first-year head coach Robyn Fralick and played their home games at Breslin Center in East Lansing, Michigan.

They finished the regular season 22–7, 12–6 in Big Ten play to finish in fourth place, marking the first time since 2016 that the team had double digit conference wins and won at least 22 games in a season.[1] As a result, they earned a double bye in the Big Ten tournament.[2] They lost to Nebraska in the quarterfinals of the tournament.[3]

They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 9 seed in Regional 1.[4] There they lost to North Carolina in the first round.[5]

Previous season

The Spartans finished the 2022–23 season 16–14, 7–10 in Big Ten play to finish in ninth place. They defeated Nebraska in the second round of the Big Ten tournament before losing to Indiana. The Spartans were invited to the National Invitation Tournament, but declined the invitation due in part to the Michigan State shooting on campus.[6]

On January 28, 2023, head coach Suzy Merchant was involved in an automobile crash which led to her being hospitalized.[7] Assistant coach Dean Lockwood took over as the acting head coach for the remainder of the season.[8] Merchant stepped down as head coach of the Spartans after the conclusion of the season.[9] On March 31, the school named Bowling Green head coach Robyn Fralick the team's new head coach.[10]
