It was a momentous occasion for Last-Tear Poa on Saturday, as she graduated from LSU. She had a great celebration amid all the emotions.

In April, she entered the transfer portal and waved goodbye to the Tigers. The junior guard committed to the Arizona Sun Devils and will be a part of the rebuild of the Big 12 program.

Poa posted a video on her Instagram story wearing a sparkly black cutout dress.

She completed her bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies.

Poa became the seventh Australian player to represent LSU. In her three seasons with the team, she played with many stars but never became the primary piece for Kim Mulkey.

She was part of the NCAA Championship-winning team in her first season; however, she only averaged 3.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 12.5 minutes per game.


Last-Tear Poa could be a starter for rebuilding ASU

Last-Tear Poa only started 15 of 30 games for LSU last season. However, she has a good chance of changing that with Arizona State. Poa could be one of the main scoring threats of Sun Devils coach Molly Miller.

After ASU's 10-22 (3-15 Big 12) overall record last year, Miller was tasked with an overhaul, and recruited some good prospects.

Apart from Poa, the Sun Devils added Gabby Elliot and Jordan Jones. Elliot is a high-rated player and joins Arizona State as a full-time starter at Penn State. Meanwhile, Jones was also a productive starter, joining the program from Denver.

Even McKinna Brackens and Molly Washenitz are also key recruits for next season.

Many consider Poa as the a steal of the portal for the Sun Devils because of her skill set. She is an "old-school" guard who likes to run the offense and set up her teammates.

Last season, Poa averaged 2.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.0 rebounds on 24.5% shooting, including 22.7% from beyond the arc.
