SALT LAKE CITY—Westminster's men's basketball will finish the RMAC regular season at home against #25 Dixie State Friday night.
 
Chances to make the RMAC tournament dropped significantly after road losses to Regis and Colorado Christian over the weekend. The Griffins are tied eighth with Regis (16-11, 11-10 RMAC) and one game ahead of Western Colorado (13-14, 10-11 RMAC).
