PREP STAR IN BASKETBALL PICKS VCU

Kendrick Warren, the 1990 Group AAA basketball player of the year, said Wednesday night he will play at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Warren, a 6-foot-8 forward, averaged 26 points, 12 rebounds and two blocked shots this season in leading Thomas Jefferson of Richmond to a berth in the Group AAA tournament.

Numerous reports have said Warren has yet to score the minimum 700 required on the Scholastic Aptitude Test to play as a college freshman.

The NBA has filed a second lawsuit against the Oregon Lottery, alleging that its new scratch-off ticket game is based on the league's championship series. The lawsuit, filed late Tuesday in U.S. District Court, claims the "Basketball Championship Pool" game infringes on the NBA's trademarks, creates confusion for its fans and unjustly enriches the Oregon Lottery.
