hoosiers. 18 points for the golden gophers. indiana had chances at the end but they couldn t knock down the big shots when they needed it the most. minnesota shocked everybody and won it 77-74. that s your first look at sports. have a great weekend. i m fred roggin. and now for another quick look at the weather, here s nbc meteorologist bill karins with the weather channel forecast. everybody s talking about what little snow we have out there. yes. it hasn t been that snowy. it hasn t been that cold. but that has changed in many areas. good morning. if you re just joining us, this isn t a misprint. right now, its 42 in new york wind chill. very mild. feels great. don t get used to it. right now the wind chill in pittsburgh is 4. the cold air is rushing into the big cities of the east. so although you don t need the heavy gear, winter gear as you go out this morning, when you return this afternoon, it will feel much, much colder and very windy, too. so there is a little bit of rain
