Caitlin Clark suffers for her boyfriend Connor McCaffery as she exerts her influence over her brother-in-law Patrick
The WNBA star often attends the matches of her partner
Caitlin Clark and Connor McCaffery
Caitlin Clark, the WNBA Rookie of the Year, has been a prominent figure both on and off the court. Her relationship with Connor McCaffery, an assistant coach at Butler University, has intertwined her life with the McCaffery family’s basketball endeavors. This connection extends to Connor’s brother, Patrick McCaffery, a standout player for the Butler Bulldogs.
Patrick McCaffery has demonstrated remarkable improvement this season, particularly in his three-point shooting. Currently, he ranks second in the Big East, boasting a 47% success rate from beyond the arc, a significant leap from his 31% average last season. This development has been attributed, in part, to the rigorous coaching of his brother, Connor.
“As hard as Connor is on Patrick, I think it’s great for us. It’s good for our program overall,” Butler’s head coach, Thad Matta, said.
Clark’s influence is also perceived as a contributing factor to Patrick’s enhanced performance. Her presence at Butler games has been a constant since the start of her offseason, providing support and perhaps inspiration. The bond between Clark and the McCaffery family appears strong, with her attending games alongside Connor’s family members, including during Thanksgiving.
Despite Patrick’s individual success, the Butler Bulldogs have faced challenges, losing four of their last five games. In a recent loss to Marquette, Patrick contributed 13 points, maintaining his efficiency from the three-point line by hitting two out of four attempts. His consistent performance has been a bright spot amid the team’s struggles.

The McCaffery brothers’ collaboration at Butler is a continuation of their time together at the University of Iowa, where they both played under their father, Fran McCaffery. Patrick’s decision to transfer to Butler after graduating from Iowa, followed by Connor’s move from an assistant coaching position with the Indiana Pacers to Butler, has kept their professional paths intertwined.
As the season progresses, the synergy between Connor’s coaching and Patrick’s on-court execution, coupled with Clark’s supportive presence, will be pivotal in the Bulldogs’ pursuit of success. The blend of familial bonds and professional dedication continues to shape their journey in collegiate basketball.
Caitlin Clark’s jersey retirement sparks outrage as tickets reach insane prices
Tickets are going for eye-popping numbers
Indiana Fever’s Caitlin ClarkLAPRESSE
Caitlin Clark is set to receive a prestigious honor from the Iowa Hawkeyes on February 2, 2025 when the university will raise her number to the rafters and retire it.
The occasion will certainly be a memorable one for all those in attendance, as well as Clark, who averaged 31.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game in her senior season with the team.
Thank you for watching
She also became the NCAA’s all-time leader scorer in both the men’s and women’s divisions, showing just how profound her impact was on the sport during her time in Iowa.
However, with Clark’s number now set to join the likes of Megan Gustafson and Michelle Edwards in the rafters, ticket prices for the occasion have fans scratching their heads.
How much are tickets going for?
The game will see Iowa take on the USC Trojans, and to the surprise of nobody, there is already a huge demand for tickets.
As a result of that demand prices are hitting all-time highs, with the cheapest ticket on TickPick listed at a stunning $711. That is a huge increase on the previous lowest price, which was $283.
The figures have some fans wondering how it’s possible, and if the game should be moved to accommodate a bigger live audience.
“I would have had it in the football stadium & probably cashed out even more,” one fan wrote.
“Iowa that’s nasty work,” wrote another, who clearly isn’t a fan of the big price jump.
Another added: “Even with as good as Caitlin Clark, I still can’t bring myself to watch the WNBA.”
