Tennessee Vols guard Dalton Knecht unknowingly made a UT fan's birthday wish come true on Saturday night against the Vanderbilt Commodores. 

On Saturday morning, a Vols fan named Callie (@vol_uh_tile) tweeted that it would be nice if Knecht could score 32 points against Vanderbilt in honor of her 32nd birthday. 

And that's exactly what Knecht did.

The transfer from Northern Colorado continued his hot streak — Knecht is averaging 32 points per game over his last five games — in the Vols' 75-62 win against Vanderbilt in Nashville. 

Knecht is a strong player of the year candidate and he's the main reason why Tennessee is a legitimate Final Four threat. The fact that he's making birthday wishes come true along the way just adds to his ever-growing legendary reputation.
