Night Moves....West Side Is The Best Side

West coast men's college basketball led the 1:00am ET editions of "SportsCenter" and "Fox Sports Live," as both began their broadcasts with Arizona-UCLA highlights. The game aired previously on ESPN. FS1 followed with California-Oregon, which led into the 1:00am edition. Heat-Knicks and the Redskins hiring coach Jay Gruden were the other dominant reports of the night.

ESPN2's Keith Olbermann documented his "worst persons" in the world of sports, blasting the BBWAA for needing to "triage the Hall of Fame election process." Honorable mentions went to the Rockets mascot "Clutch the Bear" for scaring players. There "was nothing wrong with what he did, I just thought this was the best place for it in the show." TSN's Ray Ferraro, who was reporting from between the benches, "forgot rule No. 1 of being a civilian next to the ice" when his coffee spilled as players fought for the puck in front of him.
