Kentucky junior Jodie Meeks had 54 points tonight! Incredible. He was 15-22 from the field, including 10-15 from deep, for Kentucky, who beat Tennessee at Tennessee, 90-72. And he was 14-14 from the free throw line. Meeks came into the game as the nation's 5th leading scorer, putting up 24.2 points per game. Although his 54 will go down as one of the greatest performances of all time, we probably shouldn't be surprised. He's put up 39, 37, 46, and 32 points already this season for the Wildcats, who are now 12-4. They don't have many significant victories on the schedule, and were blown out by North Carolina, so not sure if they're tournament-worthy yet, but tonight's win will definitely help. They'll be major players in the SEC though, if Meeks keeps it up. In addition, the Wildcats have a few other nice players including sophomore forward Patrick Patterson and Chicago guard, freshman Deandre Liggins, who can help contribute to the resurgence of Kentucky.
No Top 25 games tonight, but shout out to my boy Evan from Ohio St. He had 13 points and 5 assists in the Buckeyes 77-53 win against Indiana tonight, and has played extremely well all season.
How crazy is it that neither Kansas and Memphis - who both won tonight - the two teams from last year's National Championship game are ranked in the Top 25.
