Night Moves....Hitting The Hardcourt

The 1:00am ET editions of ESPN's "SportsCenter" and FS1's "Fox Sports Live" (late due to NCAA men's basketball coverage) both led with Oregon-Arizona and UConn-Cincinnati. Both editions followed with extensive hoops coverage and analysis, with ESPN's first non-basketball report being the Sochi Games and FS1's reporting Tiger Woods will skip the season's first WGC event.

ESPN's Keith Olbermann called out his "world's worst" persons in sports: Gianmarco Pozzecco, "one of the legends of Italian basketball" and now coach of Orlandina Basket, having a "verbal altercation" with a rival coach. Also drawing Olbermann's ire were the school administrators at a school in Illinois for suspending their women's basketball coach for criticizing them and a Japanese music lecturer claiming he "ghost wrote" music for a Japanese figure skater at the Sochi Games that acclaimed Japanese composer Mamoru Samuragochi, who is hearing-impaired, is taking credit for.
