The Drake Bulldogs certainly have their work cut out for them playing in one of the better conferences in college hoops, but they also have too much talent to back down from a challenge as they look to shoot their way up the standings in the always competitive MVC. This is a team that is also eager to rebound from a 2015-2016 season that left the Bulldogs short of the postseason, giving a talented roster plenty of motivation to make a move up the standings. Although Drake basketball tickets have always been very popular around Des Moines, this is a team that has fans as engaged as ever in an exciting current era of team history.
It also doesn't hurt that their home court, Knapp Center, is just one of those venues that you have to see at some point if you're a Drake fan, as it's always loaded with thousands of intense and passionate fans that pour into the stands to provide the Bulldogs with a home-court advantage. The schedule is absolutely loaded with exciting home options for the Bulldogs both in and out of the Missouri Valley, providing more than enough incentive to head out and see a big game up closer and personal. Add in some exciting road matchups into the equation and there are all sorts of opportunities for fans to get into another riveting season of Drake basketball.
''The Drake Bulldogs have a long history of putting together strong teams, as this is a program that goes all the way back to the early part of the 20th century and continues to be a major force in the Missouri Valley Conference. This is a tough group of teams that comes with all different types of challenges throughout the year, but that's part of the fun of playing college basketball in its top level of competition. With the Bulldogs ready to challenge the other top teams in the conference, Drake Bulldogs basketball tickets are once again some of the hottest seats in Des Moines for sports fans.'
'The Drake Bulldogs basketball program first got together back in 1906, putting in motion a tradition that would grow substantially as college hoops popularized around the country. Although there have been quite a few exciting stretches, the Bulldogs enjoyed a period of dominance in the 1930s and again in the late-1960s and early-1970s. The Bulldogs have also had some exciting moments in the postseason, including four trips to the NCAA Tournament and one as recently as 2008, the year that they won the Missouri Valley Conference. Thanks to a strong program that continues to develop some of the best players in the MVC, the Bulldogs always have an exciting team that keeps fans coming back to the Knapp Center.'
'After making it all the way to the Final Four in 1969, Drake's first trip to the NCAA Tournament, the 1969-1970 Bulldogs proved that the previous season was anything but a fluke. Following another strong regular season, the Bulldogs beat Houston to make it back to the Elite Eight, which they would do once again in 1971 to mark three straight impressive Tournament runs.'
