25 most intense College Basketball rivalry games entering the 2025-26 season--Busting Brackets
No. 21 Drake vs Northern Iowa
Northern Iowa leads the series 50-32
The schools, separated by 108 miles, are members of the Missouri Valley Conference. Drake and Northern Iowa are both guaranteed to play twice a year. The fact that they are both in the same conference has intensified the rivalry. The schools have identical histories and are each fighting for total supremacy in the Missouri Valley Conference.
When two schools from the same conference are involved, they are two of the best teams in the conference. The games have an added level of intensity. In 2019, Northern Iowa beat Drake in the conference semifinals. The Bulldogs returned the favor in 2020, beating the Panthers. Those were two of the best games of the rivalry. The games often end in overtime, are high-scoring, and usually turn out to be two of the best games in the mid-major ranks every year. Drake has currently won 9 of the last 11 in the rivalry.
