Contest Rules: Pick the winner of each of the games in the Pick the Hoops Contest. The entry with the most winners wins the contest. In the event that two or more entries tie with the highest number of winners, the tie breaker will be used to determine the winner, first predicting the right team in the selected game to win, and then the fewest number of points away from the actual score of the game. One entry per physical or email address each week. Decisions of the judges are final. Entries are limited to zip codes that begin with 275, 278, 283, and 285 and area codes 919, 910 and 252.

Contest entry ends Friday at 5 p.m.
