Caitlin Clark gives raw halftime interview

With the press clamoring to speak to Caitlin Clark after she broke the women's basketball scoring record well inside two minutes, it was a halftime interview that captured her rawest feelings of the moment since.

Talking to the Associated Press, Clark was typically modest and instead chose to focus on her teammates and coaches.

“Just good to be in the same realm of a lot of really, really good players,” Clark said. “Lucky to do it, because I have really good teammates, really good coaches and a great support system that surrounds me — but we need to play better defense.

“I dreamed of doing really big things, playing in front of big crowds, going to the Final Four, maybe not quite on this level. I think that’s really hard to dream. You can always exceed expectations, even your own, and I think that’s been one of the coolest parts.”

Caitlin Clark also acknowledged the crowd that had thronged Carver-Hawkeye Arena to see her break the long-standing record and set her sights on loftier goals for her team.

“It’s pretty unreal, this crowd’s unreal,” Clark said. “I’m just really grateful, honestly, to be able to be here and make so many of my dreams come true. We’re not done. We’re still looking for a little more.”

Clark even had a parting shot revealing the advice she would give her younger self.

“Never stop dreaming. And I still keep dreaming, and I’m 22 years old,” Clark said. “So never stop.”

Not one to stop at merely breaking the record so early in the contest, Clark kept her focus and ensured that the Iowa Hawkeyes aced the game against the Michigan Wolverines.
