2016–17 Princeton Tigers women's basketball team

The Tigers, led by tenth year head coach Courtney Banghart, played their home games at Jadwin Gymnasium as members of the Ivy League.

[1] The team finished the season with a 16–14 overall, 9–5 Ivy record and appeared in the Women's National Invitation Tournament, where they lost to Villanova in the first round.

[2] The Tigers were an at-large selection to the NCAA tournament, notably becoming the first-ever Ivy League team to earn an at-large bid in either the men's or women's NCAA Tournament.

The tournaments only awarded the Ivy League automatic bids for the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments; the official conference championships continue to be awarded based solely on regular-season results.

The final, ultimately between Penn and Princeton, was played the next day for the NCAA bid.
