"The kid took quite a lick on the back of her head," LSU head coach Kim Mulkey said Saturday night. "I did not see it. I saw it on the film just a minute ago, and I wouldn't even look at it."

At the time of the injury, Mulkey said Poa seemed "unresponsive."

"She could squeeze your hand, lightly," she said. "She'd tell you she could feel her legs, but she really couldn't articulate good enough for you not to be afraid."

Poa, who is from Australia, started 10 of the 32 games she’s appeared in for the Tigers this season. She’s averaging 5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.
