Oh my god…get this kid in the NBA right now.
Food City Center had a record crowd (22,547) on Wednesday night, and Tennessee fans couldn't have picked a more perfect night.
The fourth-ranked Volante were hosting the 11th-ranked Auburn Tigers, and Tennessee was facing an eight-point deficit with less than 13 minutes left. But in true SEC home-cooked fashion, the Vols managed to storm back and 92-84 Top 15 win.

And the main culprit is…stunningly… dalton knecht.
The fifth-year guard had an absolutely incredible performance, scoring a game-high and co-career-high 39 points, including 27 in the second half. And that's hardly it.
Check out this totally insane statistic. It shows that… well… Knecht single-handedly won this game against the Vols.
Wild stats from Auburn vs. Tennessee.
Dalton Knecht outscored the entire Auburn team 25-21 in the final 12:01 of the game.

Dalton Knecht has a confidence rating of 1000. When the wave comes out of the screen, it spreads out across the floor and fills the 3. pic.twitter.com/EbKY6oYUEF

I knew Dalton Knecht through sports betting, but I never knew him like this…
Consider me a new fan, this kid is one hell of a monster.
