For the Meeks of Heart: Kentucky Sensation Jodie Meeks Goes on Scoring Spree

There wasn't much to cheer about in the early going for Billy Gillespie's Cats.

Jodie Meeks is seeing to it that changes.

The 6'4'' junior dropped a career-high 46 points on Saturday night. Since 1961, only seven Cats have topped the 40-point mark. Of those seven, only one followed it up with a performance eclipsing 20-points in their subsequent game.

Meeks had that knocked out by halftime against Tennessee Tech. Jodie hit 7-9 from distance in the first half, and then played sparingly in the second half (the Cats were up by 40-50 much of the half). He finished with 32, giving him one of the most prolific 2-game runs in Kentucky basketball history.

Can he translate that success when they reach conference play?

If so, they will be dancing once again in Lexington.
