Impact McGhee has scored at least 13 points in four of his last five games. He bested his previous season high by 12 points and took on more offense with Josh Hubbard (ankle) somewhat hobbled. The 6-2 senior has hit half of his 3-pointers in his last five games. He will look to keep up the great shooting on Tuesday against LIU-Brooklyn.

Scores 13 with extra minutes McGhee ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Sunday's 65-62 loss to San Francisco.

Impact McGhee played extra minutes after Josh Hubbard went down with an ankle injury three minutes into the game. The 6-2 senior scored in double digits for the third time in the last three games and has played at least 30 minutes four times this season. If Hubbard is unable to go next Saturday at Utah, McGhee would likely start and get more shots.

Puts up season high sans Epps McGhee ended Monday's 81-78 OT win over New Orleans with 16 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes.

Impact McGhee was held out of the starting lineup Nov. 21 against New Mexico and limited to just seven minutes, despite the fact he had started the previous three games. His time in the dog house appears to be at an end, however, as the senior shooting guard saw season-bests in minutes played and scoring. The extra run may be partially attributed to the absence of Jayden Epps due to a foot injury, however, so it remains to be seen how the rotation will shake out Friday against SMU.

Impact McGhee started all 37 games for the Blazers in 2024-2025, averaging 11.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting over 40 percent from distance. That experience and sharpshooting capability should make him the prime target of several high-major programs.
