The transition to stardom at the next level didn’t take long for five-star freshman guard Ja’Kobe Walter.
Walter scored 28 points and led No. 20 Baylor men’s basketball to an 88-82 comeback victory over Auburn Tuesday night at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D.
The 28 points were the most by a freshman in his debut in program history and the fourth most in a collegiate debut in Big 12 history.
The Bears (1-0) had five different players hit double figures in the season opener, three of whom made their first appearance in the green and gold.
