The sixth-ranked women's team debuts Wednesday night against instate rival and 23rd-ranked TCU in a matchup of undefeated Big 12 teams. While there are parts of the $212 million facility not yet completed away from the court, the 7,000-seat arena with space for about 500 more spectators to stand was ready for games.
