"We know that being No. 1 requires hard work and loyal fan support, so we're
rooting for the top seeds in the tournament alongside our great customers," said
Kurt Kane, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut. "Four No. 1 seeds have made
the semifinals before, but never has this much been at stake for pizza lovers
nationwide. If it happens again, we're prepared to make it the greatest
championship in college basketball history with free pizza."

College basketball legend Bobby Hurley will make the program especially great
for fans everywhere by carrying his skills off the court to represent the Red
Roof as spokesperson for this hoop dream promotion. The two-time college
basketball champion and All-American point guard will be front and center in
keeping Pizza Hut fans informed as the suspense builds for the journey to
Atlanta.

"I was fortunate to play on No. 1 seeds and championship teams during my
collegiate career," said Bobby Hurley. "In basketball you need to have a solid
foundation, team-first mentality and great fans to build a championship program.
Pizza Hut has accomplished the same for the pizza industry and I'm looking
forward to assisting them in their efforts to 'Make It Great' for their fans
during the tournament."

After consumers have signed up for the Hut Lovers program, and the No. 1 seeds
advance to Atlanta, the coupon will be issued and redeemable online through
April 15.

The big tournament has seen an entire No. 1 seed semifinals only once, in 2008.
What better time to root for No. 1s than when the best teams in college
basketball have Pizza Hut cheering every step of the way. For more information,
