Last-Tear Poa diagnosed with a concussion

Last-Tear Poa of the LSU Lady Tigers

Poa has been diagnosed with a concussion and was evaluated in St. Francis Hospital in Greenville, South Carolina. She is expected to be released soon.

The guard hit her head and neck on the court under the basket late in LSU's eight-point win over Mississippi. She tried to draw a charge on Ole Miss player Madison Scott with a little over six minutes left.

After the fall, Poa had gotten up with help. She stopped and was placed flat on the floor while waiting for the medical team to come into the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The Tigers huddled on the sideline to pray as fans chanted "Poa."

LSU coach Kim Mulkey said thay the guard had movement in her limbs when she was taken out of the court. Last-Tear Poa, who started 10 games with the Tigers this season, had five points in 17 minutes before her injury.
