South Carolina coach Dawn Staley reacts to Caitlin Clark’s historic night: ‘God dog’
It was Caitlin Clark’s night Thursday inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena, as the Iowa senior guard passed Kelsey Plum to break the NCAA Division I women’s basketball all-time scoring record.
It was a feat long coming, and one everyone wanted to know about it — including South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley.
Following No. 1 South Carolina’s win over Tennessee, Staley interrupted the media in her postgame news conference to ask whether Clark broke the scoring record. When she she learned how many points Clark scored in the first quarter alone — 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field — Staley was at a loss for words:

“God dog,” Staley said. “Phew, no suspense right?”
Staley’s Gamecocks and Clark’s Hawkeyes have only had one head-to-head matchup, which came last year in the Final Four of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Clark led Iowa to a 77-73 win over South Carolina with 41 points, ending the Gamecocks’ perfect season and advancing to the national championship game against LSU.
Staley wasn’t the only person to remark on Clark’s historic night, either. The sports world at large lauded Clark’s performance, including Angel Reese of LSU, who congratulated the Hawkeyes and told her to “keep breaking records.”
Now Clark, who set a new career-high with 49 points in No. 4 Iowa’s win over Michigan, looks to break the next record on her list: LSU’s Pete Maravich’s NCAA all-time scoring mark of 3,667 points.

DES Moines, Iowa — Gov. Kim Reynolds has ordered all flags in Iowa to be lowered to half-staff Saturday in honor of state Sen. Julian Garrett, who died June 8 at the age of 85.
Flags will be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset June 20, the day of Garrett’s funeral, on the Iowa Capitol Building and across the Capitol Complex. The order also applies to all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state.
Garrett served 16 years in the Iowa Legislature, first representing House District 55 from 2011 to 2013 before serving in the Iowa Senate through the 2026 legislative session.
In addition to his legislative service, Garrett was a farmer, attorney and former employee of the Iowa Attorney General’s Office.
“Sen. Garrett was a friend who served our state with integrity — whether as a cattle producer, a Little League coach, an attorney in the executive branch, or a legislator,” Reynolds said in a statement. “For 15 years, we worked together to unleash opportunities for the Iowans we served, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.”
Reynolds is encouraging individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government entities to lower their flags to half-staff during the same time period as a sign of respect.
Garrett represented southwest Iowa in the Legislature and was known for his work on judiciary and agriculture-related issues during his tenure at the Statehouse.
