Giving Voice to the Women’s Program
(St. Louis, MO) – Hunter Phillips has one of the best jobs in America. The Drake University graduate is the radio play-by-play voice of the Drake Bulldogs women’s basketball team. This edition of Bulldog hoops is a very good one. Phillips is giving voice to this outstanding program.
Drake is 16-5 and 9-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference. The team is filled with talent, has an outstanding coach and are growing into a team with serious postseason aspirations. Player of the year candidate Katie Dinnebier is the headliner, but Grace Berg and others can take up that mantle at any time and just last week, coach Allison Pohlman picked up a mid-season reinforcement.
Former Valley ‘Newcomer of the Year’ Megan Meyer ‘came out of retirement’ to play one final semester of college basketball. The old adage about ‘the rich getting richer’ couldn’t be more true.
Phillips on the Bulldogs
In addition to his game responsibilities Phillips also hosts coaches’ shows and the ‘Be Blue Podcast’. His passion for Bulldog women’s basketball is contagious and he loves the Valley. Here is our conversation with Hunter Phillips.
Missouri Valley teams have just reached the halfway point of the season and the Bulldogs are tied with Belmont for the league’s top spot. After this Thursday’s game with Bradley, the Bulldogs have a Saturday date with Illinois State. The Redbirds (14-6, 7-3) dealt Drake its only conference loss of the season and tied Belmont for last season’s league title.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
