Drake is set to play Missouri in Wichita on Thursday, March 20th.
Drake University's Director of Athletics, Brian Hardin, said that fans should buy tickets as soon as possible if they plan on attending the game.
'There's going to be a ton of interest in tickets. I would probably urge fans right now, if they can, to jump on and do like secondary markets and try to see what you can get. We'll probably have well over a thousand ticket requests. We'll probably have maybe 200 actual tickets to give away. So, demand is going to exceed the supply we have.' Hardin said.
