Former LSU women's basketball guard lands at rebuilding Big 12 school

Last-Tear Poa committed to Arizona State, according to a report from On3’s Talia Goodman on Sunday, following three seasons with LSU women’s basketball.

The junior guard entered the transfer portal the same week as Sa’Myah Smith after the Tigers fell to UCLA in the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight. Tear-Poa started 15 games and played 10 or more minutes in five of LSU’s six postseason games this season.

Poa was a part of the program’s national championship season in her first year with the team. She totaled six points and two assists but struggled to cement herself as a true scoring threat throughout her time with the Tigers.

The 5-foot-11 guard played two seasons with former LSU All-American Angel Reese, two with Aneesah Morrow and three with Flau’Jae Johnson. She served as the facilitator for the team’s offense but couldn’t separate herself as head coach Kim Mulkey’s go-to point guard.

Poa joins an Arizona State team led by first-year head coach Molly Miller. The Sun Devils went 10-22 last season and 3-15 in the Big 12. They also secured a commitment from former Penn State guard Gabby Elliott as four players from last season entered the transfer portal.
