Preview: Dayton Flyers at Richmond Spiders RICHMOND, Va. (Interstat) — The surging Dayton Flyers, winners of five straight, will look to solidify their Atlantic 10 standing when they visit the Richmond Spiders on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at the Robins Center. Dayton (20-8, 12-3 A-10) enters on its longest conference win streak of the season, most recently edging George Washington 68-66 last Friday. The Flyers’ success has been fueled by the stellar play of guard Javon Bennett, who is averaging 20.1 points over his last seven games. He exploded for 25 points in the win at GW and has scored 20 or more in four of the last five contests. Richmond (15-14, 7-8) looks to bounce back from a narrow 69-66 road loss at Loyola Chicago on Saturday. The Spiders have struggled for consistency in conference play but remain dangerous at home, where they are 10-4 this season. They are led by guard AJ Lopez, who is coming off a 23-point performance and has scored in double figures in 12 consecutive games. The matchup features contrasting trajectories. Dayton has climbed into the conference’s upper echelon with its recent run, while Richmond has alternated wins and losses over its last six outings. The Spiders will need to contain Bennett, who has been the catalyst for Dayton’s efficient offense during the streak. In their first meeting this season on Jan. 10, Dayton defeated Richmond 81-71 at home. Bennett scored 19 points in that victory, while Lopez was held to 11 for the Spiders. For Richmond, a win would secure a .500 conference record and provide momentum heading into its regular-season finale at Duquesne on March 7. Dayton, which hosts VCU on March 6, aims to keep pressure on the league leaders and enhance its postseason resume. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
