SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA ¨C 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.¡±
