As of March 5, 2020; Rankings from AP Poll

The Tigers finished the season 8–23 and 3–15 in ACC play to finish in fourteenth place.

The NCAA Tournament and WNIT were cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.[1]

Following the conclusion of the 2019-20 season, senior Kobi Thornton was drafted in the third round of the WNBA Draft (27th overall) by the Atlanta Dream.[2]
