Caitlin Clark was ecstatic at having achieved the top spot in the NCAA's all-time scoring women's standings. However, she expects to remain the same old Caitlin going forward. She summarized the sentiment in her address to the media after the game.

“I dreamed of doing really big things, playing in front of big crowds, going to the Final Four, maybe not quite on this level,” Clark told The Associated Press. “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.”
"I just go about my business as I did when I was a freshman during COVID, sure, my life has kind of changed somewhat. I still live the exact same way. I still act like a 22-year-old college kid."
