Dayton (21-4, 14-0) clinched the Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season championship Sunday with a 79-54 victory against Fordham at UD Arena. Dayton plays George Mason in its final home game at 7 p.m. Wednesday and closes the regular season with a game at Saint Louis at 3 p.m. Saturday.
The 15-game winning streak is tied for the third longest in school history. The Flyers won 18 games in a row in a streak that began in February 1980 and ended in November of the following season. Dayton has twice won 16 in a row, most recently in the 2007-08 season, and it has two other 15-game winning streaks, one coming in the 2012-13 season.
