Connor McCaffery is celebrating his girlfriend Caitlin Clark through the good times and the bad.
“My GOAT,” the former college basketball player, 25, wrote on his Instagram Stories, alongside an image of Clark leaving the court for the final time in her college career following Iowa’s loss to South Carolina in the title game on Sunday.
Despite coming up short in the big game, Clark finished with a game-high 30 points, including a scorching 18 in the first quarter. The 22-year-old shot 5-13 from the 3-point line and finished her career with 3,951 points.
Last month in the final game of the regular season, the icon eclipsed Pete Maravich’s long held all-time collegiate scoring record of 3,667.
For Clark, who announced in February that she was entering the 2024 WNBA Draft, her final season has been one for multiple record books — and through it all, McCaffery has supported her.
After the star guard scored 41 points and Iowa defeated LSU in the Elite Eight last week, McCaffery shared his girlfriend’s stat line from the game, which included seven rebounds, 12 assists and nine 3-pointers.
"Out of words for this 1," McCaffery wrote in his story, tagging Clark and adding a yellow heart and a hand-heart emoji.

McCaffery enjoyed his own successful basketball career at Iowa, where he played under his father, head coach Fran McCaffery. Connor also played on the school's baseball team.
After graduating with bachelor's degrees in political science and finance in May 2023, he landed a job with the Indiana Pacers.
McCaffery’s location could be ideal if Clark is drafted by the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 draft pick, as expected.
The WNBA Draft is on Monday, April 15 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
