Per Shama:

General impression so far is Niko Medved is a popular hire as the new men’s Golden Gophers basketball coach. That won’t translate immediately into big crowds at Williams Arena, though. The Gophers might do well to see about a 2,000 sale increase in season tickets for the 2025-2026 home schedule. That could push the total into the 7,000 range.

It’s going to take some winning

Winning and a competitive home preseason schedule. People are not going to show up for Southeast Northeast Westeast Columbia School of Mining. It's insulting.

Two openings left. Schedule St. Thomas and a decent power 5 opponent.

Sounds like a reasonable ask

Scheduling a halfway decent home non con schedule in his first year was a layup and Medved clanked it. We aren't asking for much. Disappointing.
