There’s a 1:30 p.m. men’s basketball preseason press conference Thursday so our normal time will not work for the live chat. As an act of contrition, I’ll not only do that chat on what will be an extremely busy Thursday — I have to write out of the basketball press conference as well as cover the game — but I’ll leave the start time up to you … as long as it’s one of these three times:

A) 10 a.m.
B) Noon
C) 6 p.m.

Brief explanations are welcome. I’m trying to make this concept stick.
