Drops 29, flirts with triple-double McGhee totaled 29 points (10-21 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 78-69 victory over Lipscomb. Impact Liberty appears to be headed for a second consecutive NCAA Tournament bid following a 9-1 start to Atlantic Sun play, and that's due in no small part to McGhee, who is averaging a career-best 22.4 ppg -- good for fifth in the nation entering Wednesday's slate of games. Despite the significantly-increased shot volume, McGhee is shooting a career-best 46.9 percent from the field, in addition to his second-straight season above 40 percent from distance. With multiple 40-point performances this season, McGhee is certainly capable of single-handedly carrying the Flames to a first-round upset.
