In his freshman year,
Brian Yoshinori led the Rainbow Warriors to their first NCAA tournament since 1968. They were an 8-seed, but had a tough matchup against a Buffalo team that's always dangerous and probably deserves to be in a better conference, but nobody wants them yet.
Anyway, Hawaii lost, but I imagine they'll be back next year.

Can't imagine that Yoshinori won't have a few conference awards coming his way.
