January 13th: On this date...

... in 2009, a 6'4 junior guard from Norcross, Georgia, put on a show in enemy territory, as Jodie Meeks went ballistic scoring 54 points in a win over Tennessee, 90-72. The 54 points stand as the single greatest scoring performance in Kentucky basketball history, breaking Dan Issel’s 39 year old mark of 53 points against Mississippi in the 1969-70 season. Meeks could do no wrong on the night as most of his teammates simply got out of the way and watched. On the other hand, Tennessee did about the same, as Jodie was left open time after time. No other Wildcat finished in double-figures (Pat was the closest at 9 points - 12 rebounds). The finishing line on Meeks’ night: 39 minutes played - 15-22 FG - 10-15 3PM - 14-14 FT - 54 points - 8 rebounds - 4 assists. Enough words. Need picture movie.
