Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend shared his support for the athlete after the Iowa Hawkeyes’ women’s basketball team lost the 2024 NCAA national championship game in Cleveland on Sunday.
On his Instagram Story, Connor McCaffery shared a photo of the basketball star exiting the court with dignity after her team’s 87-75 defeat against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
“My GOAT,” he wrote above the sporty snap, using the acronym that stands for “Greatest Of All Time.”
McCaffery, the son of Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery and Margaret McCaffery, tagged the headline-making point guard and added several red hearts and heart-hand emojis to his post.
Clark, 22, re-posted her boyfriend’s sweet message to her Instagram after coming up short on Sunday.
“It’s really hard to win these things. I think I probably know that better than most people by now,” Clark said post-game. “To be so close twice, it definitely hurts. But at the same time, we were right there. We battled. We took down some really great teams to get back to this point and [did] something that’s really hard to do.”
The exact beginning of Clark and Connor’s relationship remains uncertain, but they made their romance public via Instagram in August 2023.
During that time, Clark posted a photo on social media featuring the two college athletes on a boat, captioned, “Best end to summer.”
Clark, alongside her devoted boyfriend, has endeared herself to the entire nation during March Madness 2024.
Hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, Clark holds the prestigious title of NCAA’s Division-I all-time leading scorer in both men’s and women’s basketball. Projections place her as the anticipated No.1 overall selection in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
In the showdown against the Gamecocks, Clark concluded the season with an impressive performance, tallying 30 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Despite her efforts, the Gamecocks maintained their undefeated streak with a flawless record of 38-0.

Expected to be selected as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft, Caitlin Clark continues to make waves.
Last week, Clark contributed to another milestone as Iowa’s Final Four showdown against UConn became the most-watched basketball game in ESPN history, drawing a staggering 12.3 million viewers. Not only did this game claim the title of the highest-viewed NCAA Women’s basketball game, but it also marked the most-watched college event ever.
Even Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley recognized Clark’s impact, offering praise while accepting her team’s trophy on Sunday.
“I want to personally thank Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport,” Staley, 53, said. “She carried a heavy load for our sport. You are one of the GOATs of our games and we appreciate you.”
