Fabian White - Playing in AAC finalWhite (back) is included in the starting lineup Sunday for Houston's matchup with Memphis in the AAC tournament championship game, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
ImpactWhite had been viewed as a game-time decision after he experienced back tightness in Saturday's 86-66 win over Tulane, but he apparently feels ready to give it a go as the Cougars look to secure the AAC's automatic bid. The big man has started each of Houston's 33 games so far this season, averaging 13.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals per contest.

Fabian White - Taking part in warmupsWhite (back) is warming up ahead of Sunday's American Conference Tournament final versus Memphis, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ImpactWhite was limited to three minutes during Saturday's semifinal against Tulane due to the back injury, and he's officially considered a game-time decision for Sunday's final. It's a good sign to see the senior forward taking part during early warmups, though it remains unclear if he'll ultimately be cleared to play against the Tigers.

Fabian White - Game-time call for AAC finalWhite (back) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's American Conference Tournament final against Memphis, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
ImpactWhite logged just three minutes Saturday against Tulane before injuring his back, and he never returned to the contest. Perhaps that was just a conservative approach, as Houston was able to get away with a 20-point victory, with Jwan Roberts and Reggie Chaney stepping up off the bench. White has been a force this season as one of the top scorers (13.0 ppg) and rebounders (5.8 rpg), so any absence will be an issue for a Houston team already decimated by injuries.
