LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -Jodie Meeks scored a career-high 46 points as Kentucky blew out Appalachian State 93-69 on Saturday.
Meeks did it all, making 14-of-21 field goals, including 9-of-14 3-pointers and hitting 9-of-10 free throws as the Wildcats (8-3) won for the eighth time in nine games. Meeks' total was the most by a Kentucky player since Dan Issel scored 47 against Alabama in 1970.
Patrick Patterson added 19 points and seven rebounds for Kentucky.
Kellen Brand had 16 points and Ryann Abraham added 14 points for Appalachian State (4-4), but the Mountaineers shot just 33 percent from the field and had now answer for Meeks.
Meeks outscored the Mountaineers by himself in the first half, pouring in 24 points as the Wildcats took a 53-21 lead at the break and cruised in the second half.
