1 pm East Coast start = 11am mountain time zone where the game is being played
Arizona is in the mountain time zone (normal time for them), nevada in pacific time zone (so like a 10 am start for them)

Does this early start have any effect on either of these teams?
(PT-pacific, MT- mountain, CT- Central)

Nevada's start times in 2012 in the time zone of where the game was played
12pm (PT), 12:35 (PT), 4:05 (PT), 5:30 (hawaii), 1 (CT), 4:05 (PT), 12pm (PT), 7:35 (PT), 6 (MT), 7:35 (PT), 1:30 (MT), 12:30pm (PT)

Arizona's start times in 2012 in the time zone of where the game was played
8:30 (MT), 8:30 (MT), 8:30 (MT), 7:30 (PT), 8 (MT), 12 (PT), 8 (MT), 1:30 (PT), 7:30 (PT), 11:30am (MT), 8 (MT), 8 (MT)

If anything, nevada has had more early starts than arizona.

Arizona was down 10-7 after the first in that 11:30 am early start against Colorado. And we all know how bad Colorado was this year.

there is a one hour difference in time zones

I don't see how I could factor this into the game, but that is just me.
