Florida’s final non-conference road trip to Yale on Sunday will mark a homecoming of sorts for senior forward Erik Murphy.

A native of South Kingstown, R.I., Murphy will have a large contingent of family and friends in attendance in New Haven, Conn., for the 5:30 p.m. tip against the Bulldogs.

“It’s really nice,” Murphy said. “Coach (Billy Donovan) is really good about that with the seniors, getting games close to home for them. Most guys are somewhere close to Florida or in Florida, and I’m going back up there so it’s exciting.”
