DES MOINES, IOWA -- Season basketbal tickets for the defending Missouri Valley Conference regular season men's and women's champion Drake Bullogs will go on sale to the public, starting Wednesday (Oct 1) at the Drake Athletic Ticket Office.

Men's season tickets, which include a school-record 21 home games, range as low as $99 for general admission to $248 for reserved seats with a Bulldog Club donation.

Season tickets are $99 for reserved seats and $59 for general admission for the entire women's package which includes 16 games.

The Drake men's basketball team returns All-MVC performers Josh Young and Jonathan Cox from last year's squad which posted a 28-5 record en route to winning both the MVC regular season and tournament championships. The Bulldogs also advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1971.

The Drake women's basketball team has three starters back from last year's team which was 23-11, while advancing to the second round of the WNIT. The Bulldogs will be looking to earn back-to-back regular season MVC titles for the first time since the 1999-2000 and 2000-01 teams accomplished that feat.
