Wright and Johnson were named to the 2011 A-10 All-Tournament team.
In a tournament run that featured victories over Massachusetts, No. 18/20 Xavier and Saint Joseph’s, the Flyers brought themselves back into contention for postseason play.
In Dayton’s third appearance in the Atlantic 10 Championship game, the Flyers struggled from the outside hitting 3-of-14 shots from beyond the arc. Dayton was 38 percent shooting from the floor against the top defense in the conference.
The Flyers trailed 55-47 with 1:48 to play, but that would be the closest UD would come to evening the contest. Richmond had 20 points off of Flyer turnovers and finished the game shooting 42 from the floor.
In the first half, Dayton started off slowly and trailed 34-24. The Flyers shot 42 percent from the field, but it was their defense that faltered. Richmond connected on eight of their 10 shots from beyond the arc in the opening 20 minutes.
The Flyers dropped to 22-13 overall.
