PUT DOWN YOUR DUKE, PICK UP YOUR ENTRY TO HITS AND VIRGIN'S DUMB NCAA BASKETBALL CONTEST

The Duke men’s basketball team weren’t the only ones upset with their one-and-done loss in the NCAA Basketball playoffs yesterday.

Think of how diehard Blue Devil fan, Virgin promo ruler Hilary Shaev, feels having to launch HITS and Virgin’s annual Dumb NCAA Basketball Contest. All that and she has Oral Roberts going all the way in her office pool.

Hey, there’s always the women’s tournament, right, where Duke is seeded #1?

So, move over Kevin Durant and Greg Oden, because you could be winners, at least in the Dumbest NCAA Basketball Contest yet.

Dumb because we allow you guys to wait and see the Sweet 16 before we start to test your bracketology skills. All we’re asking you to do is pick the Final Four teams, the Final Two, the eventual champion and, the tiebreaker, Total Combined Points by both teams in the Championship Game.

Since it’s a Dumb contest, and this is HITS, you can pick the #1 seed in each region—Florida in the Midwest, North Carolina in the East, Ohio State in the South and Kansas in the West, or Duke, if you’re even dumber than we think.

The winner receives a shiny new Delphi Roady XT receiver and a one-year subscription to XM…which may also include Sirius by the time you get it. See what you’ll be getting here.

The hot new acts supporting the promotion include Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, 30 Seconds To Mars, Joss Stone, Korn, The Almost and Sick Puppies, who will donate free hugs to all the runners-up.
