Many fans in the comments noter her absence and some speculated that the photoshoot could have taken place while Last-Tear Poa dealt with off-court issues.

In October, Poa filed a lawsuit against U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after her P-1A Athlete visa application was denied. The Australian native is currently playing in the United States on an F-1 student visa, which heavily restricts her NIL activities due to immigration laws.

Last-Tear Poa struggles to find consistency as LSU Tigers advance undefeated

After missing the first three games of the season, Last-Tear Poa returned to the court but has been struggling to make a significant impact. Her best night was against the North Carolina Central Eagles, where she scored 12 points in 13 minutes while snagging two rebounds and dishing out three assists.

Besides this, Last-Tear Poa has mostly scored just two points per game or gone scoreless. She is averaging 2.4 points, 0.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists. The guard spent a year at junior college, where she averaged 12.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists and led the Raiders to a NJCAA title.

However, since moving to LSU in 2022, Poa has seen a significant drop in production. Last year, she averaged 4.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers are on an 11-game winning streak as they attempt to build on their Elite Eight run. After their 2023 national championship win, the Tigers fell short of defending their title but are determined to reclaim it this season. Leading the charge is Flau'jae Johnson, who has earned high praise from LSU coach Kim Mulkey.

"I think she's just more mature each year," Mulkey said. "You're supposed to get better, and it doesn't take a coach to tell you what you need to work on. It just takes playing, and when you're playing, you remember things from the previous year."

After their 100-54 win over Grambling, the LSU Tigers continue their journey against in-state opponents Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns on Sunday.
