The Blue Devils finished the 2023–24 season 27–9 and 15–5 in ACC play to finish in second place. As the second seed in the ACC tournament, they earned a bye to the Quarterfinals where they were upset by in-state rival and tenth seed NC State.

They won this matchup to move onto the round of 32, where they routed 12th seed James Madison.
