Men's Basketball senior guard Jay Yoon looks for an open teammate versus Gonzaga on Feb. 16. Yoon said his dream is to see the 1% of Asian Americans in the NCAA grow tenfold.

Approximately 18.6 million Asian Americans call the United States home, which is about 7% of the United States total population.
