Pacific time

A hidden advantage for West Coast teams over teams from the East, especially on a weekday in basketball, since games are often played later in the day than in football. A team from the West Coast can't lose either way on time. If their game is home, they start around 10 at night, and end after midnight, at a time most of an East Coast audience is asleep on a weeknight. If their game is away, it's like playing at 4 in the afternoon on their time which is also still a regular time for a basketball game. No matter what, the other team is always on their time, which helps them out tremendously.
