The Penn State Lady Lions basketball team represents Pennsylvania State University and plays its home games in the Bryce Jordan Center. In 2013, the Lady Lions became just the 12th program in NCAA Division I history to reach 850 wins.{{cite web|url=http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/psu/sports/w-baskbl/auto_pdf/2012-13/release/release_20130219aaa.pdf |title=2012–13 Penn State Lady Lion Basketball |publisher=Grfx.cstv.com |access-date=2015-06-26}} Penn State has won 8 regular season Big Ten titles and the first 2 Big Ten tournament titles in 1995 and 1996. Prior to joining the Big Ten, the Lady Lions competed in the Atlantic 10 conference.{{cite book|title=2015-16 Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Media Guide|year=2015|editor-first=Tom|editor-last=Waterman|publisher=Atlantic 10 Conference|location=Richmond, Virginia|page=77|url=https://issuu.com/atlantic10conference/docs/fullwbbbook-web/1?SPSID=799995&SPID=136229&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=31600|access-date=2016-09-06}} The Lady Lions have 25 NCAA tournament appearances as of 2014, the most in the Big Ten. The team's best post-season finish came in 2000 when the Lady Lions reached the Final Four before losing to eventual champion UConn. The Lady Lions captured the WNIT title in 1998 defeating Baylor 59–56 in Waco, Texas. Notable alumni include WBCA First Team All-Americans Suzie McConnell, Susan Robinson, Helen Darling, and Kelly Mazzante.

Pink Zone at Penn State
Annually, the Lady Lions don pink jerseys in support of several organizations that fight breast cancer in what is now known as the "Pink Zone at Penn State" game. The Lady Lions were the first Division I team in the nation to wear pink jerseys,{{cite web|url=http://www.statecollege.com/news/local-news/penn-state-womens-basketball-lady-lions-volunteer-time-at-pink-out-day-1011067/ |title=State College, PA – Penn State Women's Basketball: Lady Lions Volunteer Time at Pink Out Day |publisher=Statecollege.com |date=2012-02-23 |access-date=2015-06-26}} a growing trend in athletics. Then-head coach Rene Portland developed the idea in 2006 with money from the Big Ten Conference, and the first game (termed the "Think Pink" game) occurred in February 2007 against Wisconsin.{{cite web |url=http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2011/02/25/lady_lions_pink_zone_preview_.aspx |title=Pink Zone game growing - the Daily Collegian Online |website=www.collegian.psu.edu |access-date=3 February 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130217100702/http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2011/02/25/lady_lions_pink_zone_preview_.aspx |archive-date=17 February 2013 |url-status=dead}} In 2012, the Pink Zone at Penn State raised a record $203,000 to distribute to its beneficiaries.{{cite web|url=http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/071612aaa.html |title=2012 Pink Zone Donates Record ,000 to Breast Cancer Charities – Penn State Official Athletic Site |publisher=Gopsusports.com |access-date=2015-06-26}}
