The Drake Bulldogs men's basketball team represents Drake University, located in Des Moines, Iowa, in NCAA Division I basketball competition. The first season of Drake Bulldogs men's basketball was during the 1907-08 season. Drake played that first year as an independent. The next year during the 1908-09 season they were charter members of the Missouri Valley Conference. There was no Missouri Valley Conference play during the 1943-44 and 1944-45 seasons because of WWII. This was in part because less MVC schools were playing basketball during that time, Drake was though. In 1951 Drake withdrew as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, along with Bradley as a result of the lack of action taken by the Missouri Valley Conference against Oklahoma A&M in the Johnny Bright Incident. Drake would not compete in the Missouri Valley Conference again until the 1956-57 season.

The team's current coach is Mark Phelps, previously an assistant at Arizona State, who was hired after the 2007-08 season.^[1] Phelps replaced Keno Davis, who left for Providence after one season as head coach at Drake, in which the Bulldogs finished 28-5 and Davis won multiple national Coach of the Year awards.^[2]
