When it comes to winning the Frontier Conference men's basketball championship, it's been tough to pinpoint an exact formula. After all, the league has seen many different teams capture the crown over the last decade, including Westminster College, Lewis-Clark State, Carroll College, Montana State University-Northern, UM-Western and Rocky Mountain College.

First it was Lewis-Clark State, now the Westminster Griffins are hogging the Frontier Conference women's championship.
