COREY WALKER NEWS

Dealing with injury Walker suffered an undisclosed injury in Friday's AAC Tournament quarterfinals and did not suit up in Saturday's 93-83 loss to UAB, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Walker has been part of the center rotation for a South Florida team that won the American Conference regular season, and he's even made eight starts, including the AAC tournament opener. His absence was surely felt, as opposing big man Yaxel Lendeborg recorded a double-double in a matchup that very well may have cost USF its NCAA Tournament hopes. Whatever postseason USF chooses to participate in, Walker's availability should be considered shaky at best.
