Six years ago, Arizona State met Tennessee in the first outdoor women's college basketball game.

Sun Devils coach Charli Turner Thorne enjoyed it so much she wanted to do it again. And she's convinced perennial power Texas Tech to participate this time.

The Sun Devils will meet the Lady Raiders on Dec. 18 at Chase Field, the Arizona Diamondbacks' retractable-dome stadium in downtown Phoenix.

"Basketball under the stars," Turner Thorne said. "It's going to be a lot of fun."
