GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- No. 8 Florida was without starting guard Eli Carter for its 61-56 win against Louisiana-Monroe. Carter sprained his left foot in practice Thursday and was ruled out earlier in the day. Carter is a fourth-year junior who transferred from Rutgers in 2013 and missed most of last season while recovering from a broken right leg. He is averaging 14.5 points this season. He was the second starter ruled out for Friday night's game. Forward Dorian Finney-Smith will miss his second consecutive game with hairline fractures in the index and middle fingers on his left, non-shooting hand. Florida (1-1) has no timetable for their return, meaning they could miss parts of next week's Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas. Without them, walk-on Jacob Kurtz and freshman Devin Robinson started against the Warhawks (2-0).
