LSU’s Last-Tear Poa shares cryptic post on jealousy after hitting the transfer portal

On Thursday, days after announcing her decision to enter the transfer portal, LSU women's basketball star Last-Tear Poa shared a cryptic post on Instagram.

"JEALOUSY is real," she wrote. "These people will sit and swear they ain't bothered, but secretly be OBSESSED with you. Plotting, watching your every move, waiting for any little thing to CRITICIZE. They smile in your face but deep down they can't stand to see you winning."

The post concluded:

"So, let them watch. Let them hate. Let them plot. You just keep doing YOU, because at the end of the day, they're just mad they're not you."

Poa endured a difficult season with LSU and was left out of the team at the start of the season. The Australian international filed a lawsuit against U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after her P-1A visa application was denied. She was unable to secure Name, Image and Likeness deals due to the denial.

However, Poa returned to court later in the season but still struggled with playing minutes. Despite the limitations, she finished her season averaging 2.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 24.5% shooting per game.
