The 2008-09 Drake Bulldogs men's basketball team represents Drake University in the 2008-09 college basketball season. The team, which plays in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), is led by first-year head coach Mark Phelps. In 2007-08, the Bulldogs finished 28-5 (15-3 in the MVC). Drake will try to improve upon their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1971.

Preseason

On April 21, 2008 Mark Phelps was named the head men's basketball coach at Drake University, succeeding Keno Davis.

Phelps will inherit a team that loses three starters—point guard Adam Emmenecker, shooting guard Leonard Houston, and small forward Klayton Korver. Emmenecker was one of the most compelling individual stories in the 2007-08 college season, going from three-year walk-on to MVC Player of the Year. Houston was a second-team all-MVC selection.

Returning starters are shooting guard Josh Young and power forward Jonathan "Bucky" Cox. Young, the team's leading scorer in 2007-08,cite web|url=http://www.godrakebulldogs.com/fls/15700/statistics/mbb07/teamcume.htm#TEAM.IND |title=Season Box Score |work=2007-08 Drake Men's Basketball Statistics |publisher=Drake University Athletic Department |date=2008-03-21 |accessdate=2008-04-25] joined Emmenecker on the all-MVC first team. Cox was the team's leading rebounder and joined Houston on the all-MVC second team.
