Last-Tear Poa, the ex-LSU Tigers guard who recently transferred to Arizona State, gave her followers a thrill this week by posting a video on her Instagram story.
The image shows Poa posing in a bright red bikini, standing in front of the mirror, and using the flashlight on her phone to light the shot.
Last-Tear Poa was a staple throughout her time in Baton Rouge for Kim Mulkey. Poa had been a terrific defender for three years and contributed to the run towards LSU’s 2023 NCAA National Championship.
Poa’s final season (2024/25) in a Tigers uniform saw her averaging 2.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in around 13 minutes a game. While Poa didn’t score a ton, she was able to influence the game in other ways like her outstanding 31 charges taken throughout the 2023-24 season; a clear understanding of how to defend as a player.
After LSU lost in the Elite Eight, she entered the transfer portal searching for a school to go to for her senior season.
Kim Mulkey’s Emotional Reaction to Last-Tear Poa’s Injury
Last-Tear Poa enjoyed a deep sense of respect with her former coach Kim Mulkey, who often complimented Poa on her toughness and ability to lead. That respect was on display when, in March 2024, Poa took a nasty fall during the SEC tournament, suffering a concussion and requiring transport to the hospital. Mulkey later told members of the media how concerned she was.
“As I was walking to this press conference, the trainer told me her CT scan came back clean. “So that’s wonderful news. I spoke to her mother , of course she’s from Australia. The kid took quite a lick on the back of her head. I did not see it. I saw it on the film just a minute ago and I wouldn’t even look at it,” Mulkey stated.
“Honestly, I don’t give a damn about the game at that point. “I really don’t. That’s somebody’s child. That’s my player and those are my players in that huddle. When I got to the huddle it was bad. It was just very, very emotional,” Mulkey further elaborated.
