How to Watch, BetSaracen Odds: Arkansas vs. LSU

The Arkansas Razorbacks (14-9, 3-7 SEC) faltered at home against Alabama over the weekend, but the Hoop Hogs are still in the thick of NCAA Tournament consideration and have another chance to boost their resume on Wednesday at against the LSU Tigers (12-11, 1-9 SEC) at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.

It’ll mark the second time this season that the Razorbacks and Tigers face off. The first matchup was Jan. 14 in Baton Rouge, a game LSU won, 78-74. Arkansas put LSU on the foul line often and the Tigers went 26-of-28 from the charity stripe, which ended up being the difference in the game.

“I think the one thing that stands out from the first game is they made free throws,” Arkansas assistant coach Chuck Martin said Tuesday. “We fouled quite a bit. They made free throws, which helped them, I think, at the end. As of late, we’ve been defending without fouling, which is a really good thing for us.”

Hoop Hogs need energy from Aidoo, Brazile against LSU

The first time these two teams matched up, Arkansas was in a bit of a free-fall. The Hogs had lost three straight entering the contest, couldn’t rebound the ball effectively and had an anemic offense that struggled to score.

Rebounding has still been an issue for the Razorbacks, but they’ve had better overall performances in recent weeks. The Hogs have won three of their last five conference games — including road wins at Kentucky and Texas — and they are firmly in the mix for an NCAA Tournament bid.

There hasn’t been much talk in the facility about the Big Dance, though, as Martin said they’re taking the rest of the season one game at a time.

“We’re just going into practice every single day trying to get better, trying to improve, prepare for the next opponent,” Martin said. “We’re steering clear of those conversations, just doing the best that we can do day to day and get ready for LSU.”

Arkansas Governor joins national A.I. workforce initiative

Arkansas Governor joins national A.I. workforce initiative

LITTLE ROCK, AR (KATV) — Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has joined a new national artificial intelligence initiative that launched Thursday, June 25.

RAISE US, started by former Governor Eric Holcomb of Indiana and Gina Raimondo, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce is a nonpartisan national organization that will partner with governors, employers, workers and training organizations to help the workforce transition to an AI economy.

“As artificial intelligence transforms America’s economy, we have one clear message: technology should empower people, not replace them. By leveraging our Arkansas LAUNCH initiative, and with the resources and expertise provided by RAISE US, Arkansas will turn that mission into reality. We want the Natural State to be a leader on education, workforce training, and up-skilling, and this new partnership gives us the tools we need to build a model for the entire nation.”

The organization will design and pilot incentives to retrain workers, new approaches to support job transitions, and training models tied to employer demand.

RAISE US launches with more than two dozen American companies and philanthropies and initial state partnerships in Connecticut, Maryland and Utah.

“America has a technology strategy for leading the global AI competition. It does not yet have a people strategy — and we cannot lead without one,” Raimondo, who will serve as CEO of RAISE US, said.

“If we build the best AI systems in the world and leave millions of Americans behind, we won’t have won anything; we’ll have automated our own decline. I believe AI will create new jobs and industries over time, but the transition could be disruptive, and it’s already underway. We shouldn’t fearmonger, but we can’t pretend our training and worker support systems are ready either. It’s time for innovative and practical solutions. This moment demands ambition, urgency, and creativity. We’ve assembled the country’s top companies, best economists, and bipartisan governors at a scale rarely seen — all to advance new ideas and incentives, pilot them with governors and business, and scale what works.”

Governor Sanders is partnering with RAISE US to support Arkansas LAUNCH, an AI-powered career navigation platform that connects students and jobseekers to personalized learning and employer-linked career pathways.
