higher in the southwest counties, closer to cloud cover. there's a couple of sprinkles near louisville. we're at 29 officially. a north wind at six miles an hour makes it feel like 23. quite a wind chill to factor this in this morning. we have a chilly start this morning, one more chilly morning tomorrow morning. we'll come out of the cool weather pattern in time. later this afternoon, partly cloudy, highs in the mid 40s. close to where we were yesterday. yesterday tried a peek of sunshine. today, partly cloudy and dry conditions. satellite and radar, the wider view showing rain showers for louisville, snow showers in st. louis. snow showers in eastern parts of ohio moving westward ever so slightly not going to make it in for us. we'll stay quiet under partly cloudy skies. north winds will persist today and tomorrow before we break the weather pattern. today's high temperatures in the mid 40s. scattered clouds, light rain

kentucky, not a problem for us. north winds continue tonight, which means tomorrow morning, it's another cold start. monday afternoon, a little bit of improvement, temperatures upper 40s. maybe a spot or two around 50 on monday. but the big improvement is a warm front that's building out across the plains on monday. not impacting us yet. as we get a west wind monday, it turns to a southwest wind tuesday. we tap into the warm air. there should be a 15 degree climb from monday to tuesday. we'll keep around the dry weather as well. a warmup by midweek. we have to get through a couple more cool days. today, 44. sun and clouds in the afternoon, a light north wind. tomorrow, chilly overnight. it's a coat or double jacket tomorrow morning. 29 degrees monday. monday afternoon, 48. scattered clouds monday. sunshine tuesday. notice the jump. once we make it back to warmer

and do what they say. that's a compliment to them. elise: with such a quick turnaround between games and an unfamiliarity with the upcoming opponent, xavier uses a simple strategy. each assistant coach is assigned to one team and they make sure not to overload the players with information. >> wisconsin is the same way from what i understand. so this time of the year, the players have heard so much. it's been a long year. you don't want to make it any longer. you want to keep their attention. >> at the end of the day, it's about playing hard and getting after it and coming out with more intensity and energy. elise: wisconsin likes to play the classic, big ten style of basketball. they like to be physically tough from start to finish. that won't be a problem for the musketeers. they love playing physical basketball. just one game stands between xavier and another ticket to the sweet 16 for a second straight year. from scottrade center, elise jesse, wlwt news 5 sports. george: here's a look at the bracket.
