Per Pat:
The various agencies involved in transforming University Avenue from Interstate 35W to Oak Street in Minneapolis appeared on Saturday morning to have completed construction. It was a months-long project through the core of the U campus and, presumably, the planners’ goal has been achieved.
That goal would be the reduction of vehicle lanes from three to two headed to Williams Arena, thus turning the traffic jams for popular events at the mighty old Barn from tedious to epic.
This was not a problem for Game 2 of Niko Medved’s coaching tenure with the Gophers men’s basketball team, since game time was 11 a.m. and the opponents were the Alcorn State Braves. This historically Black college is located in Lorman, a town of 2,300 in southeast Mississippi — where, one suspects, the city and college leaders do not spend heavily to worsen traffic jams.

Reusse: The traffic to Williams Arena is lousy, and so is the level of Gophers competition inside it
Neither Gophers basketball team had much difficulty this weekend at the old Barn. The same can’t be said on the other side at Maturi Pavilion, where the volleyball team ran into the Nebraska juggernaut.
