Ramon Walker - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Given hope for NCAA Tournament Walker (knee) has a chance to be available for No. 1 Houston's first-round game Friday against No. 16 Longwood, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact According to Houston's head coach Kelvin Sampson, Walker could be available if his injured knee gets cleared by the team's head trainer. The junior being healthy would give UH some much-needed depth, considering it has already been depleted by other injuries. So between now and the Longwood game Friday, Walker's availability status will be something to monitor.

The sophomore had been a regular contributor of double-digit reserve minutes for the Cougars, who have Final Four aspirations this year.

Walker's next chance to play will come Sunday against Cincinnati.
