Jodie Meeks On Fire

Record setting game by Jodie Meeks of The University Of Kentucky Wildcats Basketball Team.

That's still the most efficient performance I've ever seen in CBB... He got 50+ points on less than 25 fg attempts.... Crazy..

[@leetrent747]

Imagine if Meeks came back to UK in Calipari's first season....Wall, Bledsoe, Meeks, Cousins, Patterson. No way that poor shooting performance happens against WVU.

really wish he came back for his senior year they would've won a title

[@SOFAxKINGxHI]

i miss having jodie in blue and white.. i hope he has a great nba career ..thanks for the memories MR. MEEKS

I was at this game, Most insane thing I have ever witnessed live. I have seen High school kids put it 56 pts before, but not at the college level. INSANE

I remember this game well. If memory serves, Meeks broke Kentucky's all-time leading scorer, Dan Issel's record for most points scored in a single game by any Kentucky player. In 1970, Issel scored a then UK single game record 53 points against Mississippi State. A record that stood until Jodie Meeks scored 54 in this game against Tennessee in 2009. I never saw any replay of Issel's performance in 1970 against Mississippi St., but I was fortunate enough to have been watching this game. I'd have to say the only other single game scoring performances by a UK player that stand out with this one in my mind would obviously be Jack "The Goose" Givens's 41 points in the 1978 National Title game when Kentucky defeated Duke, and the other that springs to mind in recent years I suppose would be when Malik Monk went off on North Carolina for 47 points in the CBS Classic back in December, 2016. His jumper was very Jodie Meeks like in that game as well.

Great vid. I love how you showed the game action surrounding his scoring plays. Very well done.

[@Arkoin]

Is it ironic that they talked about john calipari?

[@nickcondo1326]

I'll never get over the pain of losing to WVU in 2010, with Jodie I doubt we'd have lost a game that year

[@matthewc3959]

if meeks stays that kentucky team completes the undefeated season

[@ibrow33441]

At the time, I honestly thought Meeks & Patterson would save Billy G's job. They should have been soooo much better. Miller as a freshman was the 3rd best player on the team and barely played. And then to add insult to injury, totally lose it down the stretch and not even make the tournament. My, my how things work out...thank you for sucking so bad 2009 Cats! Because it brought us the rock star of all rock stars! Mr John Calipari!

[@dperin00011]

Gives me chills every time I watch it. One of the few people Billie pulled in that was worth a damn. Meeks, Miller and Patterson.

[@dannyyork1142]

I was there!!!! Dressed in blue!!!! Me and whole bus load of buddies!!!! I remember at halftime, I went into bathroom, two older fellas with orange dress coats on was in there. 1 ask the other, think we can out score them in 2nd half? Other fella said we can't out score Jodie Meeks. HE got hot early, and stayed scorching for whole game.

[@Dgusting]

Anyone notice those player of the year candidates at the end of the game? Harangody, hansborough, GRIFFIN, CURRY, HARDEN.

[@NeonAera]

I am SENSING some serious GOOOD in Jodie Meeks. I'm going to predict NOW he's going to be a great player for the Lakers in the future, definitely for sure.

We can make a case this team saved Kentucky basketball

[@kisswriters]

This is the kind of ball I've always dreamed of seeing-a pass-first, lights-out point guard; the most skilled, creative wing player ever in KB (IMO); a long, skilled cerebral 4-man (w/no ego); more shooters off the bench; and a once-in-a-lifetime big that will accept being a 2nd/3rd offensive option while concentrating on rebounding and protecting the rim. When LA goes small, just one big, along with Nash, Meeks and Kobe, watch out ... key is team chemistry, pass, share, humble, excellent

[@BBNxSaint]

Would have loved to seen him play for a real coach. Billy G was a joke. Could you imagine Meeks with wall and cousins?

[@MargaretSlagel]

when i was young going to UK bball games, all i remember is the announcer saying 'AND ITS GOOD FOR JOOODDIIEE MEEEKS!' go big blue!

[@korynewton3]

low key one of the best signings for the Lakers this offseason
