Enters the portal McBride has officially entered the transfer portal, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McBride started his career at Vanderbilt, but has played the last three season with Oral Roberts. The 6-foot-1 guard improved in all categories this past year, averaging 19.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists. The second-team All-Summit will now look to find a third college to play for in his career, and his 3-point shot and overall ability to score should help his case in the offseason.

Scores 20 points McBride logged 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 26 minutes during Oral Roberts' 103-53 win Monday versus South Dakota.

Impact McBride transferred to Oral Roberts during April 2021. He was a backup option across most of the Eagles' previous season. But now, McBride and Max Abmas are their starting backcourt. The transferred guard averaged 16.3 points across Oral Roberts' last four games of January. As a collegiate athlete, 2023 is expected to be his best year. McBride was the Eagles' only non-senior part of their starting lineup that they have mostly used since November. Presuming his collegiate eligibility is not foregone and senior teammates graduate during May, he would receive an opportunity to captain this team as its primary scorer.

Back to bench McBride won't start Saturday's game against Ole Miss.

Impact McBride made one appearance with the starting five in the team's last contest but will return to the bench Saturday as part of the Senior Day festivities. Despite the move, McBride should still log double-digit minutes off the bench.

Starting Wednesday McBride is in the starting lineup Wednesday against Tennessee, Tyler Mansfield of Rivals.com reports.

Impact With the starting lineup decimated with injuries, the Commodores are turning to McBride to provide a spark. This will be the guard's second start of the season.

Available against Arkansas McBride (ankle) is available off the bench for Saturday's game against Arkansas, according to Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports.com.

Impact Vanderbilt will be without three players for this game -- Dylan Disu, Quentin Millora-Brown and Akeem Odusipe -- so the presence of McBride off the bench is certainly a boost. He missed three straight games with what Jerry Stackhouse described as a pretty significant ankle sprain. McBride is averaging 2.9 points across 9.4 minutes per game this season, though.

JANUARY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Facing lengthy absence Coach Jerry Stackhouse indicated Friday that McBride will be sidelined "for a while" due to a "nasty" right ankle sprain, Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports reports.

Impact McBride was spotted in a boot during Tuesday's game against Kentucky, so it's not a huge surprise that he's slated to miss a number of contests. The freshman guard has provided some depth minutes off the bench in the early going but hasn't produced on a large scale for the most part. The Commodores will likely shorten the bench rotation in McBride's absence, opening the door for a few added minutes from those in the regular rotation.

Not dressed Tuesday McBride is not dressed for Tuesday's game against Kentucky, Robbie Weinstein of 247sport.com reports.

Impact McBride was seen wearing a boot on his right leg. There was no report of him suffering an injury before, so it's unclear when this leg issue came up. We'll have to wait and see if he can practice later this week and play on Saturday against Mississippi State.

Starting Sunday McBride is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Alcorn State.

Impact McBride will earn the first start of his career as the Commodores take on a much weaker opponent in Alcorn State. The freshman guard has averaged four points and 1.2 rebounds in 8.4 minutes per game this season so it's likely his appearance in the starting lineup is just a one-time occurrence.
