RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Richmond couldn't have started any slower against No. 16 Dayton in the sold out Robins Center on Saturday night, missing its first 11 shots to fall behind 9-0. The victory was Richmond's 10th in a row, their longest winning streak since the 1934-35 team won 22 straight. Isaiah Bigelow and Dji Bailey added 12 points each for Richmond, (15-5, 7-0) with Bigelow also grabbing 15 rebounds.
