# Drake–Northern Iowa rivalry

The Drake–Northern Iowa rivalry is the American collegiate athletics rivalry between the Panthers sports teams of the University of Northern Iowa and the Bulldogs sports teams of Drake University.
Both universities are located in the State of Iowa and are members of the Missouri Valley Conference. Northern Iowa's campus located in Cedar Falls and Drake's campus located in Des Moines are only 108 miles apart. The universities are two of the Big Four (NCAA Division I institutions in Iowa) schools, along with the University of Iowa and Iowa State University.

## Background

The University of Northern Iowa is a public institution founded in 1876. The Panthers joined the Missouri Valley Conference in 1991. Drake University is a private institution founded in 1881. The Bulldogs were one of the charter members of the Missouri Valley Conference. The schools have been in-state rivals since their founding; however, the rivalry intensified when the Panthers joined the Missouri Valley Conference.

## Baseball

Northern Iowa and Drake have played forty-eight official NCAA baseball games. Their first official intercollegiate meeting occurred in 1907; however, the teams played unofficial games dating back to 1885. Both Northern Iowa (2010) and Drake (1975) have since been re-classified from NCAA Division I to college club status.
The Panthers won the 2001 Missouri Valley Conference tournament advancing the NCAA Division I tournament regional round. The Bulldogs have not advance to the NCAA Division I tournament in the College World Series era (1947 to present).

## Men's Basketball

The Panthers and Bulldogs first played in men's basketball in 1908; however, they only played six games prior to the 1980s. Northern Iowa upset top seed Kansas advancing to the NCAA Division I Sweet Sixteen in 2010. Drake appeared in the 1969 NCAA Division I Final Four (narrowly falling to UCLA) and has appeared in three NCAA Division I Elite Eights. They have combined for twelve Missouri Valley Conference regular season championships (Northern Iowa 3, Drake 9) and six Missouri Valley Conference tournament championships (Northern Iowa 5, Drake 1). The Panthers also won the 1990 Mid-Continent Conference tournament.
In 2019 Northern Iowa upset the number two seed co-regular season champion Drake in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament semifinals. The Bulldogs returned the favor in 2020 upsetting the number one seed Panthers in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament quarterfinals becoming the first eight or lower seed to defeat a one seed. The teams would have played again in the 2021 Missouri Valley Conference quarterfinal; however, the game was canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Northern Iowa program causing Drake to advance in a walkover. They also met in the earlier rounds of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament on four occasions, splitting those games.

## Women's Basketball

Northern Iowa and Drake's first official basketball game was in 1975. They had met informally prior to 1975 and the formation of their intercollegiate women's basketball teams. Northern Iowa has not advanced past the NCAA Division I first round. Drake advanced to the 1982 NCAA Division I Elite Eight and the NCAA Division I Sweet Sixteen twice. The Panthers and Bulldogs combine for ten Missouri Valley Conference regular season championships (Northern Iowa 3, Drake 7) and ten Missouri Valley Conference tournament championships (Northern Iowa 2, Drake 8). The Bulldogs also won the 1984 Gateway Division.
The teams met in the 2017 and 2018 Missouri Valley Tournament championship with Drake prevailing on both occasions; however, Northern Iowa defeated Drake in the 2016 Women's National Invitational Tournament. They also met three times in the earlier rounds of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament with the Bulldogs winning all three of the games.
