... in 1989. Meeks's night would've been good enough to top 4 of the top 5 winningest schools single-game scoring records: North Carolina - 39 - Lennie Rosenbluth, Kansas - 50 - Wilt Chamberlain, and Syracuse - 54 - Bill Smith. Only Danny Ferry of Duke had more points (58) in a game against Miami. For more on the game, Pat Forde has a great piece.
Jodie Meeks Explodes for 54 Points to Break Kentucky Single-Game Scoring Record

Wow.
While I was writing the Eagles-Cardinals preview that I posted last night, I briefly turned on the TV for a moment and saw that Kentucky was playing Tennessee on ESPN. The Wildcats (who, as a die-hard Hoosier, I personally hate) were leading by about 10 so I quickly flipped off.
Until I got into the car this morning and listened to the radio, I had no idea what I missed: Jodie Meeks scoring 54 points in Kentucky’s 90-72 victory, breaking the all-time single scoring record at Kentucky that had previously been held by Dan Issel (53 points).
Meeks went 10-15 from downtown en route to the single scoring record, as well as ...
Speed Read: Nothing Meek About Wildcat’s Game

We know what you’re saying: “Wait, who scored how many on which team now?” The answer to that is not as significant as the subset in which the points came: A college basketball game in the SEC.
That’s right, Jodie Meeks, a junior guard for Kentucky, had the night of a lifetime, dropping a whopping 54 points on the No. 24 Tennessee Volunteers in a shockingly one-sided 90-72 win. Meeks hit 10 of his 15 three-point attempts, helping the Wildcats take control of a game that was still up in the air in the second half. In the process, he set the Kentucky record for most points in a single game. ...

... on Stephen F. Austin University. But that does nothing to minimize Meeks' achievement -- in fact, it enhances it. Meeks' game came against a team that has beaten two teams in the top 25 this year and has been ranked up until two days ago. It was also a true road game that UK won -- Woodside's magnificent game was at a neutral site in a game the Bison ultimately lost.
I think it's time to go collect a few accolades from the media now. We'll lead off with Pat Forde:

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What a night, what a night! Like my main man Buck Weaver always says, “Suddenly there’s nothing else in the ballpark but you and it. Sometimes, when you feel right, there’s a groove there, and the bat just eases into it and meets that ball. When the bat meets that ball and you feel that ball just give, you know it’s going to go a long way. Damn, if you don’t ...

Only Michael Irvin would get a gun pulled on him, then have the perps start talking football. He was wildly underrated on ESPN’s Sunday Countdown and is sorely missed now that we are stuck with dumbass Emmitt Smith.

Former Giants RB Dave Meggett is not a good person. It’s a shame, his son is a budding star at Maryland. Nice example for your kid, Dave.
