What we're watching Sunday: No. 12 Arkansas vs. No. 9 Virginia leads a big men's college basketball Sunday

Saturday took down No. 1 Miami, and Neyland took care of Kentucky. Sunday is a men’s college basketball day, and there’s a real one at lunchtime. All times Central.

  1. No. 12 Arkansas vs. No. 9 Virginia, noon, ESPN. The Capital Showcase at Capital One Arena in Washington. Virginia is a 2.5-point favorite and the total is 162.5. Two top-12 teams on a neutral floor in the first full week of the season. This is the game.
  2. No. 13 St. John’s vs. Iona, 11 a.m., Peacock. At Madison Square Garden. Iona is 2-0, and St. John’s is still a 28.5-point favorite. Start your Sunday at the Garden.
  3. Pitt vs. Penn State, 7 p.m., ESPN2. In Philadelphia. Both teams are 2-0, and Pitt is a 2.5-point favorite. An old rivalry, a neutral floor and a coin flip. I’ll be watching.
  4. No. 10 Houston vs. Cal, 7:30 p.m., The CW. The Lake Tahoe Classic in Stateline, Nev. Houston is laying 19.5. Cal is 2-0, but the Cougars are going to guard them for 40 minutes.
