The rewards may not be there, but Arizona head coach Dave Rubio couldn’t be more proud of the fight his team has shown this year even if the wins aren’t following.
“After we lose to Utah, right, we’re in the locker room,” Rubio said, “and they’re giving everything they got. ... You’re playing with one hand behind your back. And it’s just nothing other than to say, ‘Look, I’m really proud of you guys. You guys inspire me to be better just by the effort that you give and your attitude and your unwillingness to give into this.
