In yesterday’s game against Alabama, junior guard Last-Tear Poa came off the bench to help lead LSU to a stunning victory. At halftime, LSU was down and struggling to get their offense and defense together. In a controversial shift, Coach Kim Mulkey chose to bench star transfer Haley Van Lith and start Poa.
The controversial move ended up being the right one as Poa performed incredibly on offense and defense for the Tigers. Poa netted a career high 11 points and helped the Tigers with 4 assists and 6 rebounds.
Angel Reese also shined yesterday for the Tigers, getting her 3rd straight game with over 20 points and 15 rebounds. She led the Tigers with an impressive stat sheet of 27 points, 19 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals.
