Baylor men’s basketball defeated South Dakota 63-57 Tuesday night at the Ferrell Center in sophomore forward Mario Kegler’s debut.
Kegler, a transfer from Mississippi State, was suspended for the first six games of the season due to a violation of team rules. He notched 12 points, six rebounds and three blocks in his first game in a Baylor uniform.
Kegler, who air-balled his first shot of the game and shot 1-for-6 from three-point range, said the nerves got to him early in the game, but he was excited to finally be back on the court.
