N.C. State at North Carolina 1:00 PM ET

Two ACC rivals who recorded important victories last time out face off when North Carolina State visits 16th-ranked North Carolina on Sunday afternoon in a game postponed from the previous night due to poor road conditions. N.C. State rebounded from an 18-point loss to Miami (Fla.) in its conference opener to beat No. 23 Virginia Tech while the Tar Heels edged Clemson in overtime after falling to Georgia Tech to start their ACC season.

Northwestern at Nebraska 2:15 PM ET

A .500 record after challenging itself against one of the more ambitious nonconference schedules in the country suggested the 2016-17 season was going to another long one for Nebraska, but it appears to have galvanized the team just in time for Big Ten action. Off to their best start in conference play in 41 years, the surging Cornhuskers set their sights on continuing their unlikely recent run Sunday when they host Northwestern.

Memphis at Tulane 3:00 PM ET

Memphis has shown the ability to put up points in bunches this season and lately its defense is starting to join the party. The Tigers have held three straight opponents to under 38 percent shooting from the field and look to continue that trend when they visit struggling Tulane on Sunday afternoon for an American Athletic Conference tussle.

Wisconsin at Purdue 4:30 PM ET

Eleventh-ranked Wisconsin will try to accomplish a feat that hasn't been done in more than 60 years when it plays at No. 20 Purdue on Sunday afternoon. The Badgers, who bring in a nine-game winning streak that includes a 75-68 victory at Indiana on Tuesday, are attempting to become the first team since Illinois in January of 1956 to complete a "Hoosier State sweep" with back-to-back wins at Indiana and Purdue.

Rutgers at Iowa 4:30 PM ET

Iowa looks to avoid its first 1-3 start in Big Ten play since 2013 when it hosts Rutgers on Sunday. The Hawkeyes had rattled off five consecutive victories to end the non-conference portion of their schedule before dropping two of their first three Big Ten games, including a 93-90 double-overtime loss to Nebraska on Jan. 5.

Central Florida at Connecticut 5:00 PM ET

In the midst of its worst season in decades, Connecticut looks to snap a four-game slide when it hosts Central Florida in an American Athletic Conference game on Sunday. The Huskies, buried in the cellar of the conference standings, haven't recovered from a slew of early-season injuries, but they've beaten the Knights five straight times with each one coming by double figures.

Ohio St. at Minnesota 7:30 PM ET

Minnesota has already equaled its win total in the Big Ten from last season and looks to keep the positive feelings going when Ohio State pays a visit on Sunday night. The Golden Gophers, who did not win a game on the road during the conference slate in 2015-16, won at Purdue 91-82 in overtime on New Year’s Day and followed that up with a 70-66 triumph at Northwestern on Thursday.

Wake Forest at Virginia 8:00 PM ET

No. 12 Virginia will try to avoid its first three-game losing streak in nearly six years when it hosts Wake Forest on Sunday night. Following a 10-1 non-conference run and an ACC-opening win at Louisville, the Cavaliers have been stunned in back-to-back games and find themselves at 1-2 in league play for the second straight season.

Stanford at UCLA 8:00 PM ET

UCLA isn't blowing out the weaker teams the way it did the first month of the season, and Sunday evening the No. 5 Bruins will face another squad with far less talent when Stanford visits for a Pac-12 game. UCLA is coming off a 10-point win against visiting California on Thursday night, a game in which the Bruins led by 20 at the half, but let the Golden Bears get as close as five in the game's final minute.

California at Southern California 10:00 PM ET

California star forward Ivan Rabb remains high on most NBA draft boards, but the 6-11 sophomore offered another reminder this week that he's far from a finished product. Rabb looks to take another step forward Sunday as the Bears visit USC, which bounced back from its first loss of the season at Oregon by cruising to a 72-56 victory over Stanford.
