It would be easy for Allonzo Trier to be dispirited.
Rather than building on a stellar freshman season, the sophomore guard has had to watch every one of his team’s games from the bench this season due to an unspecified suspension.
He has been unable to help a short-handed Arizona Wildcats team and unable to showcase himself as a player — all without a return date in sight (if there is one).
Yet, he’s remained upbeat and an active participant both in practice and during games.
Trier has not missed one of Arizona’s 52 practices this season, and when the games roll around he’s often spotted cheering and encouraging his teammates.
