i just have a pretty basic question....do crickets require daylight to survive?

Ambient light from the room would be sufficient. I never bred my crickets in complete darkness 24 hours a day, so I don't know how well they would fare in complete darkness. They are "alive" though, so a photoperiod like all other creatures would make sense.

i was just wondering if I could leave them in a closet where there is no light....

ive read from alot of posts and sites they need to be around 88 degrees and the need light and a little bit up moisture

88 seems a little toasty...I keep mine at room temp with no issues.
