During his collegiate career, Thompson and the ALTAs clinched a Final Four spot thrice (2012-14). He became an NCAA MVP back in 2014, was part of the Mythical Team thrice (2012, 2014, 2015), and was also named as the league's Most Improved Player in 2012.

The university retired Thompson's jersey number 6 back in February.
