CHASING A TITLE  
The race for the RMAC Championship comes down to the final weekend of the season, with Mines and CSU-Pueblo tied on 24 points and Regis lurking behind on 22 points. If Mines wins out, they would claim at least a share of their fourth consecutive title; if Pueblo also wins their two games, it would be a shared crown and the #1 seed would go to Pueblo based on the Thunderwolves' head-to-head win over the Orediggers. In any event, Mines will host an RMAC Tournament quarterfinal on Wednesday, Nov. 2 before the semifinals and final head to the highest remaining seed on Nov. 4 and 6.
