Rui Hachimura moved to the United States last year with a big dream to eventually become an NBA player. In order to achieve that, he will have to excel at college level.
But who would have thought that he'd play until this deep into his first year? And that he would have a chance to appear in the Final Four?
"This is something Gonzaga hasn't done before in its history, and now history has changed," Hachimura said after the team's 83-59 win over Xavier University in the Elite Eight round of the West Regional at the NCAA Tournament at SAP Center in San Jose on Saturday. "It's been our mission and we feel great to have accomplished it."
