KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- With its rich basketball tradition, Kentucky has had some incredible players come through its program in the last 106 years. None have had a game like Jodie Meeks.

Meeks scored 54 points to break a school record and lead Kentucky to a 90-72 victory over No. 24 Tennessee on Tuesday night.

"To be at the top of the list for the time being is something else because there have been a lot of great, great, great players," Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie said. "I hope they were all watching tonight and enjoying it. I guarantee they were rooting him on."

Meeks broke Dan Issel's 39-year-old record of 53 points set at Mississippi. The Southeastern Conference's leading scorer was only the second player this season to surpass the 50-point mark, according to STATS. North Dakota State's Ben Woodside had 60 against Stephen F. Austin in a triple overtime loss on Dec. 12.
