One year ago today, Jodie Meeks did the unthinkable.

Playing in front of a sold out crowd at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tenn., Meeks scored a school-record 54 points in Kentucky’s 90-72 victory over Tennessee. The record-setting performance broke Dan Issel’s 39-year-old single-game scoring mark of 53 points.

Kids across the Bluegrass State had long grown up in their backyards emulating legends like Issel, Tony Delk, Kenny Walker and Jamal Mashburn. With one historic night in Knoxville, Meeks gave them a reason to shoot it like Jodie.

“It means a lot to be in the same sentence as Dan Issel. It’s mind-boggling,” Meeks said after the game. “I was just out there playing to win.”
