Per Marcus:
About 30 minutes after the Gophers men's basketball team pulled out its big win at Michigan on Thursday night, a social media post popped on the team's X page, announcing a deal for $15 tickets for the next home game.
Not long after that came the repost from Gophers coach Ben Johnson with his own message to "pack the place" on Sunday afternoon when his team hosts Maryland at 14,625-seat Williams Arena.
"I'm begging people to come out," Johnson told the Star Tribune after his team's sixth straight victory Thursday. "This is a fun group."
In his first two seasons during an exhaustive rebuild, Johnson never had a product to sell like he has now. His Gophers are playing a fun and exciting style — and winning, too.
The only other Big Ten team to reel off a six-game winning streak this season is No. 1 Purdue. This is the Gophers' longest win streak since they had eight straight victories during an NCAA tournament season in 2016-17.
While the announced attendance totals have been sagging, the actual number of tickets scanned has been much lower. According to data obtained by the Star Tribune, the Gophers' average number of tickets scanned this season is 3,420.

The Gophers had been waiting for a moment to deliver a victory to excite fans like the one at Michigan on Thursday.
