LSU women’s basketball had a press conference Sunday after a big win over the Florida Gators. [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] and her team had the opportunity to clear the air and let out some grievances. One of the questions that was fielded by Mulkey was her thoughts on the play of [autotag]Last-Tear Poa[/autotag].
Poa is a junior guard from Melbourne, Australia. Poa played in 36 games last season and started in two of them. She averaged 3.4 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. She has improved those numbers to 4.4 points per game and 1.6 rebounds per game this season in just 23 games played.
“We need the Poa from last year,” Mulkey said. “If we get the Poa from last year and that kinda production then it will allow Hailey (Van Lith) to go to the off-guard to relieve Mikaylah (Williams), to relieve Flau’jae (Johnson) so we got that today, and Poa wanted that and so it was good.”

The Tigers will hope that kind of play continues when they hit the road to face Vanderbilt on Thursday night.
