† 2025 ASUN tournament winner
* ineligible for the 2025 NCAA tournament due to transition from Division II

The 2024–25 West Georgia Wolves women's basketball team represented the University of West Georgia during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Wolves, led by third-year head coach Joanna Reitz, played their home games at The Coliseum in Carrollton, Georgia as first-year members of the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN).

This season marked West Georgia's first year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Wolves are currently not eligible to participate in the NCAA tournament until the 2028–29 season.[1] A pending change to transition rules, scheduled to be voted on by the Division I Council in January 2025, would reduce the transition period to three years.[2]

The Wolves finished the season 13–16, 7–11 in ASUN play, to finish in a tie for ninth place.[3]

Previous season

The Wolves finished the 2023–24 season 16–13, 12–12 in Gulf South Conference (GSC) play, to finish in second place.[4] They were defeated by top-seeded and eventual tournament champions Valdosta State in the quarterfinals of the GSC tournament.[5]
