Johnson and Poa have become close over the years. The Melbourne, Australia native spent her Christmas with the LSU junior's family. Brooks shared a moment of Poa sharing a playful headlock with her son, Trayron Milton, on Instagram and wrote:

"@LASTTEAR_POA11 Since traveling back to Australia would've taken four days round-trip, Poa joined my family for Christmas instead. I believe holidays are for sharing with loved ones. So we welcomed her with open arms and created some unforgettable memories."

With her college career wrapped up, Last-Tear Poa has the option of declaring for the WNBA draft or exploring a career in her home country or overseas.

Last-Tear Poa looks back at her basketball career

When Last-Tear Poa arrived at LSU as a sophomore, she immediately found her spot and helped the Tigers win the 2023 NCAA championship. As she wrapped up her final year, Poa looked back at her college career in a Senior Saturday tribute video for LSU's Instagram in February.

"Basketball is my go-to when I need it. It taught me how to be tough. It taught me how to stay disciplined," the guard said.

Talking about her role within the team, Poa said:

"I try to bring this spark to the team. So I love, like doing the little stuff that people don't do, and especially charges. It's a lot, because it takes a lot on your body, but I'll do whatever it takes to win. The one thing that I've always been is, being a good teammate first. I can just bring the energy back."

In her senior season, Poa averaged 2.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists. She helped the Tigers to Elite Eight appearances back-to-back.
