Clark not only posted a double-double in Monday night's Elite Eight matchup, but she also posted a 538th 3-pointer of her collegiate career to become the NCAA's all-time D1 record holder. According to messages shared by both parties of each other on Instagram, she and McCaffrey have been dating since last year. McCaffery is a former member of Iowa's men's basketball team and the son of the team's head coach Fran McCaffery.

Jonathan 'Jack' McCaffery, 16, was driving his grey 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe from school on May 22 when he collided with Iowa Army National Guard Sgt. Corey Hite of the first Class arrived shortly after 4 p.m. Until his death on June 5, a 45-year-old Hite of Cedar Rapids sustained life-threatening injuries, including a pelvis fracture, multiple skull fractures, and holes in his lung and kidney. McCaffery, who was identified as the driver in the accident on Wednesday, was charged with Failure to Yield to a pedestrian in a Crosswalk, a misdemeanor traffic offense that resulted in death. Under Iowa law, if found guilty, the driver's license will be suspended for up to 180 days. Fran McCaffery and his partner, Margaret, released a statement in which they expressed their sympathy for the 27-year veteran's death but said the event was "unavoidable."

An extremely awkward stare between a referee and their blasted coach, Fran McCaffery, could have sparked Iowa's spirited comeback against Michigan State on Saturday. McCaffrey was left furious that one of his defenders had been punished for a foul, even so much so that he received a tech for his reaction. But then life got a bit more complicated. With 1:29 seconds on the clock and Iowa trailing by ten points, McCaffrey walked across ominously to official Kelly Pfeifer on the baseline and stared at him with his hands on his hips.

When father Fran will assist, Iowa's Patrick McCaffery is allowed to discuss anxiety issues

Patrick McCaffery, a junior forward for the Iowa Hawkeyes and son of head coach Fran, is taking an indefinite leave from the team to address mental health issues. His fear, as an Iowa City native, has prevented him from properly preparing and playing for the Hawkeyes this season. Is it fair to myself or colleagues to appear in court when I am not myself?' 'The fear has affected my sleep, appetite, and stamina, resulting in me not having the energy required to compete at my peak potential.' Patrick is the Hawkeyes' third-leading scorer at 12.8 points a game, but the Hawkeyes have failed recently, with Iowa dropping six of its last nine, including a dramatic upset loss to Eastern Illinois on December 21. The Hawkeyes had been 31.5-point favourites going into the playoffs but they lost 92-83.

The men's basketball team in Eastern Illinois has been a major 31.5 points underdog at this point

Despite being a 31.5-point underdog at Iowa on Thursday night, Eastern Illinois eketed out a 92-83 victory for the first upset by point spread in the modern era. The Panthers, a middling team from the mid-major Ohio Valley Conference, not only shocked the Hawkeyes, but they did so in Iowa City, where home state fans were clearly dissatisfied with their school's efforts. On Twitter, Chad Leistikow, a columnist for the Des Moines Register and Iowa City Press-Citizen, said an outraged Hawkeyes supporter confronted the Iowa huddle during a time out before being led away by security. It's also unknown if any bettor made a big money with the upset. Caesars Sportsbook, one of many to have a 31.5-point spread on the game, did not respond promptly to DailyMail.com's request for more details.
