TV Sports Rundown

Despite a turbulent week in Miami, pro football’s annual mega-game--otherwise known as Super Bowl XXIII--will go on as scheduled Sunday.

NBC’s coverage of the extravaganza between the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals opens with two hours of hype and hoopla at noon. Then at 2 p.m., Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen report on the game from Joe Robbie Stadium on Channels 4, 36 and 39.

With the exception of the Phoenix Golf Open at 1:30 p.m. on CBS, NBC’s competitors are carrying their events on Sunday morning well before the Super Bowl kickoff.

Those attractions include a trio of basketball games: Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics at 9 a.m. (2)(8); Georgia Tech vs. Illinois at 10 a.m. (7)(3)(10)(42), and Nevada Las Vegas vs. Louisville at 11:30 a.m. (2)(8).

Three local basketball teams are in action today as UCLA plays Stanford at 3 p.m. (2), USC faces Arizona State at 7:30 p.m. on Prime Ticket (cable) and Cal State Long Beach meets New Mexico State at 9:30 p.m. on Prime.
