Felder joined the Gators for his junior year after playing 2 seasons at Boston College. This season, the 6-7 forward is shooting 54.7 percent, averaging 3.5 points per game. Felder started in 2 of the last 3 regular-season games against Georgia and Vanderbilt but was limited to just 1 minute of playing time in UF’s regular-season finale against Kentucky. UK defeated the Gators 71-63 in Gainesville.
