Re-ranking all 18 Big Ten basketball arenas from worst to first (13. Williams Arena - Minnesota Golden Gophers)

[BleedGopher]

Per Ben:

13. Williams Arena (Minnesota Golden Gophers)​

Capacity: 14,625

Minnesota's Williams Arena, or 'The Barn,' is one of the most underrated arenas in the Big Ten. The issue is that Minnesota hasn't reached the NCAA Tournament since 2019 and hasn't finished with a winning record in conference play since 2016-17. A winning team will properly display what is a fantastic basketball venue.

I see. Success was a lot to do with the rankings. Unless you’re Indiana, who have sucked of late, then it doesn’t make any difference.

Badgerwire. Does any other school have a multi use stadium? They would have bashed them and made them 18.

Another meh piece from a rival school's gab-site.

Can't disagree with Mackey Arena or Pauley Pavillion. Hoosier Hole isn't a top five IMHO.

The Barn should be a top eight even though it has only seen pathetic performances, on the whole, for the last decade.

Once the teams starts winning more, The Barn will show its magic as an arena to be feared.

Spoiler alert: BADger writer ranked Kohl Center 6. Anybody that ranks the soulless Kohl Center ahead of 12 other facilities in the B1G in anything loses all credibility. If I ever go to the Kohl Center again, it’ll be too soon.

Indeed, the Kohl Center is like entering a Soviet era mausoleum.
