Caitlin Clark kept a (mostly) low profile while supporting her boyfriend in the Big East Tournament.

Clark, 23, was spotted at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Thursday, March 13 as the Butler Bulldogs fell to St John’s Red Storm 78-57, as seen in photos and video shared by the New York Post. The WNBA star’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, is an assistant coach on Butler’s men’s basketball team.

Clark sported a Butler t-shirt to the game and sat behind her boyfriend’s team’s bench during the action. She kept a low profile in a Butler baseball cap and a black hoodie.

Though in some moments, Clark — who has been dating McCaffery since April 2023 — was seen standing and “yelling in frustration,” according to the Post, while reacting to the matchup.

McCaffery — the son of longtime Iowa Hawkeyes basketball head coach Fran McCaffery — joined Butler’s basketball team as an assistant coach in September 2024 after working as a basketball development coordinator for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers — who share a home arena with Clark’s Indiana Fever.

The couple met while they were both student-athletes at the University of Iowa as Clark was becoming the biggest college basketball star in the country.
