Big East 2015 Championship Game Live Stream Free: Watch Villanova Wildcats vs Xavier Musketeers Online (Start Time, College Basketball Preview)

The Big East Tournament 2015 will feature a Championship Game Final between Villanova and Xavier. It’s safe to say that most pundits believed one of those two teams would be here, but the other is a big surprise for most, and they have punched well above their weight in this year’s Big East tournament. Saturday night’s Championship Game will start at 8 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).

Christian Post Report – Villanova Wildcats guard Darrun Hilliard II (4) dunks over Seton Hall Pirates guard/forward Fuquan Edwin (23) and center Gene Teague (21) during the second half of a game in the second round of the Big East college basketball tournament at Madison Square Garden.

Villanova have been by far and above the most widely talked about team in the Big East this season. Oppositely, Xavier is a team that most believed would have done very well just to get to the quarter-finals.

However, that means that all the pressure will be on Villanova tonight, and Xavier will relish the prospect of being the big underdogs who can cause a big shock against the biggest team in the Big East.

The Musketeers were seeded sixth, but they completed their amazing run with a thrilling 65-63 victory over Georgetown on Friday – one of the biggest upsets in the tournament until now.

Xavier’s Matt Stainbrook managed to post 20 points and nine rebounds in the game to get his team over the line.

One major area needing improvement for the Musketeers is from the free throw line. They struggled badly, and that allowed the Hoyas to cut down a 21 point deficit to just one point in the final minute. However, they held on and scored five of their last six attempts to claim a famous victory to give themselves a chance at taking the title today.

However, Villanova will be big favorites and are looking to complete what everyone has expected them to do all season long. Xavier will be looking at Villanova’s semi-final performance and will have hope, as it certainly proved that Villanova are not untouchable. They scraped through with a 63-61 semifinal victory over defending tournament champion Providence. They needed Ryan Arcidiacono to hit two free throws with just 3.1 seconds remaining to claim the win.

Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe

Christian Post Report – “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice is currently serving her 15-month prison sentence, but a report and pictures from InTouch said that her husband Joe, has allegedly been having an affair with a woman named Jamie Jackson. Mr. Giudice and Jackson readily refuted the accusations, calling the tabloid rumors “lies.”

“I did not flirt with her, nothing happened between us. Everything InTouch is saying that happened between us are lies,” he said in a statement to Us Weekly regarding the gossip about infidelity.

Jamie also spoke with Us Weekly and completely denied the rumors, saying that they were business acquaintances.

“I definitely never slept with him. Nothing happened with me and Joe … nothing inappropriate happened at any time. We did not hook up, kiss, or anything more. I saw him at the business meals and nothing more,” she explained.

InTouch previously claimed that Joe has started seeing Jamie in December before his wife Teresa even began her federal prison sentence. The magazine said that they drank at Carmine’s restaurant at the Tropicana hotel in Las Vegas, and that they were part of a group that went back to a suite at the Resorts Casino Hotel.

The tabloid then alleged that Jamie was crying hysterically after interacting with Mr. Giudice.

However, an insider totally denied the story, and explained the business association between the two.

“Joe was in Atlantic City for a meeting about getting a wine that he’s involved with into one of the casinos,” the source told E! online. “He was also there to discuss a potential appearance with Teresa for later that month before she surrendered.”

“Jamie, the woman in question, was there because she’s a model who was hired by the wine company to do promotional work,” the insider added.

Christian Post Report – Iconic director Woody Allen is working in a new film that’s set to star Kristen Stewart, Bruce Willis and Jesse Eisenberg, and is due to hit theaters next year.

Eisenberg has previously worked with Allen in his 2012 magical romance comedy, “To Rome With Love,” and with Stewart in the 2008 rom-com “Adventureland.” Both Stewart and Willis are making their first foray into a Woody Allen-helmed film, which they reportedly signed up for without knowing any of the plot details.

As with all Woody Allen films, the plot and other details of the movie are surrounded in secrecy right up until they are released to theater audiences.

According to speculations, the new movie will be one of Allen’s signature action-science fiction films. He will be working on the film with long-time colleagues, sister, Letty Aronson, cable TV tycoon, Edward Walson, and his agent, Stephen Tenenbaum.

Cast member Bruce Willis gestures while being interviewed at a special screening of the movie ”Red” at the Grauman’s Chinese theatre in Hollywood, California October 11, 2010.

Allen also has an upcoming movie, “Irrational Man,” with leads Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone that will be out in July 24.

News emerged earlier in the year that Allen had inked a deal with Amazon to create 30-minute streaming shows for Amazon Prime, billed to be the director’s first TV series since he started writing for television in the 1950s, and while the new show still remains untitled, unscripted and uncasted, Amazon announced it will premiere in 2016, as well.

According to Allen, he still has no idea of where to begin with the new Amazon streaming series.

Christian Post Report – BBC renewed the third season run of the psychological crime drama television series “The Fall”, according to reports. The series stars Gillian Anderson as a senior police detective who pursues a serial killer, played by Jamie Dornan.

Gillian Anderson is known for her role in the “X-files” TV series and more recently as Hannibal Lecter’s psychotherapist in the series “Hannibal.” Jamie Dornan comes back to the series fresh from his role as Christian Grey in the box-office hit “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

The series is set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Variety reported. Gillian Anderson’s character is Metropolitan Police Superintendent Stella Gibson, who gets seconded to the Police Service of Northern Ireland in order to take over the investigation of a murder which has gone unsolved for more than 28 days.

When the case turns out to be the doings of a serial killer, Gibson needs to work with the local police help hunt down the criminal who victimizes young professional women in Belfast.

Dornan on the other hand, plays the role of the serial killer Paul Spector. Spector is shown as a working family man and counselor who has a dark secret: he is a sadist who assaults women. Seasons 1 and 2 showed Gibson’s pursuit of Spector, even after Spector moved his family to Scotland at the end of Season 1. The final episode of Season 2 shows the confrontation of Gibson and Spector.

Season 3 will have five more episodes of “the cat-and-mouse game between the two adversaries, further exploring the deeper themes exposed by the intimate story line,” according to a report in Digital Trends.

The series was initially shown on the RTE network of Ireland and on BBC Two in 2013. International broadcast followed in the United States and other countries after Endemol Shine International sold the show to over 200 countries through different distribution channels such as Netflix. In the U.K., the series is said to be one of the more popular series in the BBC network.

No date has been set for the series premiere. The series is written and directed by Allan Cubitt.

Boxing icons Floyd Mayweathe Jr. and Manny Pacquiao present during the press conference for “the biggest fight in boxing history” held in downtown Las Vegas.

Christian Post Report – Famous boxing figures Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao recently met to promote their most talked-about fight at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles this Wednesday.

Appearing to be quite like a Hollywood awards show, the fighters faced a throng of credentialed media personnel from all over the world.

According to reports, this will only be the joint news conference between the Money and Manny’s camp. The next time they’ll face each other will be with their hands wrapped in boxing gloves May 2.

“I believe this is what you are waiting for since five years ago,” Pacquiao said during his turn at the podium. “The fight is on, and we’re very excited. Both of us will undergo hard training, and we will do our best on May 2 to make you happy.”

The Pac-Man was then followed after by Pretty Boy who, as the media recalled, appeared tamed and far from his usual demeanor.

“It’s been a long road, but we’re here now,” Mayweather said. “May 2, the fight of the century. It’s all about the best fighting the best, and Pacquiao is one of the best fighters of this era.”

The currently undefeated American boxer went on to speak about the match up of which the world couldn’t afford to miss.

“Everything is about timing. I think we couldn’t choose a better time. This is a fight that the world can’t miss,” he said.

The Daily Mail meanwhile added to the news saying that this upcoming clash is set to be the richest in the history of the boxing. According to the publication, the combined proceeds could total $250,000,000.

The showdown, which is slated to happen at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, will cost the public a hefty $1,500 to $7,500 ticket prices.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. currently holds a 47-0 record with 27 wins via TKO. Manny Pacquiao, on the other hand, boasts a 57-5 record, 38 of which came via TKO.

Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Live Stream Free: Watch NBA 2015 Basketball Online (Start Time, Preview)

In their third meeting of the season, the Boston Celtics face the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in the regular season of the NBA on Saturday night. The game will start at 7 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream (details below).

Hibbert Brian Spurlock/USA TODAY Sports

Christian Post Report – Roy Hibbert (left) of the Indiana Pacers.

The two teams have split the first two matches, with both proving to be an intense affair.

In the first, Boston pulld a 101-98 win at home, behind 17 points from Jared Sullinger. Ex-Celtic Jeff Green also had 15 points to help in the win as the Celtics shot 46% from the field.

Indiana played without David West, but got solid production from Roy Hibbert. The towering centre scored 22 points, going 8-of-16 from the field while pulling down 11 rebounds.

The main difference was in the three-point shooting, with Boston draining 33% of their shots while Indiana were only successful in 26%.

When the scene shifted to Indiana, the Pacers shot much better from beyond the arc, draining 39%.

Hibbert had another double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while C.J. Miles added 17 in 37 minutes of play.

Avery Bradley led the Celtics with 23 points in the loss, while Evan Turner pulled down an impressive 15 rebounds in the night.

Boston guard Isaiah Thomas will miss this coming match with back ailments, and will hopefully be back next week. They will also miss Sullinger who injured his foot in February and will miss the rest of the season.

Indiana are relatively healthy and only have Paul George out as the star guard is still recovering from his broken leg that he suffered while training with the USA national team.

The Pacers have been red-hot, winning their last seven matches as they make a push for the playoffs. They now hold a 30-34 record and are seventh in the East – holding a 1.0 game advantage over the eighth-seeded Charlotte Hornets.

Boston are one game behind the last play-off spot, going 28-36 but have won their last three contests. With the season winding down, a win over Indiana may go a long way in their hopes to get back to the post-season.
