Also a myth.
Rubio's remaining solidified voting bloc is primarily concerned with "can win the election"- and if Trump gains a major lead tomorrow (likely) he's the only one left capable of becoming the nominee without a party-crippling contested process; a lot of his suburban voters will back Trump, leaving Kasich to grab those which are left, who liked Rubio because he seemed centrist, quiet, and safe, as Kasich does.
Cruz' problem is that most of his support base is in the heartland and in Dixie- but Dixie is already done voting after North Carolina comes in, leaving Cruz with the Dakotas, Montana, and such- low-delegate regions which will get him to 500 but not far beyond at best. Trump meanwhile will battle Kasich for the east and west coast- but Kasich's organization is lackluster because until New Hampshire he had virtually no presence. Even a Rubio-is-gone boost won't allow him to win anything after Ohio.
Reminder; Santorum, in 2012, was the front runner at three different times in national polling and did about as well as Cruz is doing. The difference is that Trump doesn't have to deal with losing half of the south to Gingrich and instead has gobbled up every state down there. Trump will crush Rubio tomorrow, and we will see Trump at 46, Cruz at 34, and Kasich at 20, nationally.
