Scores nine in loss to TCU Thompson closed Tuesday's 77-73 loss to TCU with nine points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes.

Impact Over the last nine games, Thompson is putting up 13.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.0 three-pointers per contest. He should continue to start down the stretch this season as Oklahoma State looks to rack up some impressive wins to get closer to the tournament bubble.

No. 23 Iowa State visits Oklahoma State after Thompson's 20-point showing

Oklahoma State hosts the No. 23 Iowa State Cyclones after Bryce Thompson scored 20 points in Oklahoma State's 56-51 loss to the Texas Longhorns

JANUARY 26, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Goes for game-high 20 points Thompson closed Saturday's 56-51 loss to Texas with 20 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

Impact Thompson's 20 points led all scorers in this low scoring contest and was highest point mark of the season thus far. The Kansas transfer is starting to come on, averaging 16.0 points, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers over the last four games.

Breaks out for 19 points in upset win Thompson racked up 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Saturday's 61-54 win over Baylor.

Impact Thompson had one of his best games of his career on Saturday to get an upset win on the road against Baylor. The sophomore has now started the last four games and appears to be ready to take off as we head into the meat of Big 12 play. Thompson is a nice complement alongside Avery Anderson and Bryce Williams.

Available Saturday Thompson (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Houston, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Thompson was unavailable for Monday's win over Cleveland State for an undisclosed reason, but he should return to the court Saturday. It wouldn't be surprising to see him reclaim his starting role.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status for Saturday uncertain Thompson (undisclosed) practiced with light contact Wednesday and Thursday but remains a question mark for Saturday's clash with Houston, Eli Lederman of the Tulsa World reports.

Impact Coach Mike Boynton did mention that Thompson would likely be unavailable if the game were held Friday, so it doesn't sound as if he's in any better spot than questionable in terms of his status for 24 hours later than that. The sophomore had started seven straight games prior to his absence Tuesday and should be a significant part of the rotation again when available.

Fails to play against Cleveland State Thompson (undisclosed) did not play in Monday's game against Cleveland State.

Impact Thompson was suited up, but coach Mike Boynton opted to not play Thompson after he suffered an injury in the team's previous contest. The Cowboys will hope this move gets Thompson back to full strength and he is good to go for a matchup with Houston on Saturday.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Monday Thompson isn't in the starting lineup Monday against Cleveland State.

Impact Thompson started the past seven games but will exit the opening lineup Monday. There's been no report from an injury, so the sophomore guard will presumably be available off the bench.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high 14 points in second start Thompson ended with 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 80-58 victory over Massachusetts-Lowell.

Impact Thompson got his second start of the season and ended Tuesday's game with a team high in points. Oklahoma State has struggled to score at times this season, but Thompson has looked like their most effective option. Rondel Walker only played 21 minutes and had two points, so it appears Thompson will be a starter on the wing going forward.

Starting Sunday Thompson is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Prarie View, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Thompson has come off the bench in each of the first two games but has been one of the team's most effective scorers, averaging 13 points and three rebounds in 28 minutes per contest. He'll enter the starting unit in place of Rondel Walker, although it's unclear if this will be a permanent move or not.

NOVEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

14 points off bench Thompson came off the bench and provided 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and three rebounds in a rout of UT-Arlington on Tuesday.

Impact It was a bit unclear on how the former five-star recruit would fit into Oklahoma State's rotation after coming over from Kansas in the offseason. While Thompson did not start, he played the second-most minutes on the team and had the most shot attempts. We will likely have to see a few more games to know how head coach Mike Boynton will handle the backcourt rotation, but Thompson could certainly prove to be a factor at some point this season if he keeps this up.

Returns from injury in style Thompson (finger) racked up eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3PT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 19 minutes in Thursday's 97-64 win over Iowa State.

Impact Thompson returned for the first time since breaking his finger in Jan. 12's game against Oklahoma State. Per Scott Chasen of 247Sports.com, Thompson said he had no pain in his hand or fingers following the contest. The freshman provided a nice spark off the bench, including throwing back a massive block in his first few minutes back on the floor. Expect Thompson to be ready to rock when his team takes on Iowa State again Saturday.

Looks good to go Thompson (finger) is in uniform and looks ready to play Thursday versus Iowa State, Matt Tait of the Lawrence Journal-World reports.

Impact Thompson appeared likely to go when he was taking part in warmups for the Jayhawks and this furthers the notion that he will see action for the first time since Jan. 12 and just the second time since Dec. 22. He should resume a double-digit minutes role off the bench when he's at full strength.

Warming wearing protective glove Thompson (finger) is sporting a fingerless protective glove during warmups ahead of Thursday's game against Iowa State, Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Thompson is expected to play in just his second game since Dec. 22 on Thursday and he appears to be taking precautions during warmups to avoid any potential setbacks. The freshman has averaged 5.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes per game in a bench role when healthy this season.

FEBRUARY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Thursday Thompson (finger) practiced fully Tuesday and may play Thursday against Iowa State, Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact The freshman has been sidelined with a finger injury since Jan. 12 against Oklahoma State but his appearance at practice is surely a step in the right direction at a possible return. Thompson will likely be a game-time call against the Cyclones on Thursday.

FEBRUARY 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes finger surgery Coach Bill Self said Thursday that Thompson underwent surgery to repair a broken finger and is out indefinitely, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Thompson suffered the injury in Tuesday's loss to Oklahoma State, and it appears that the remainder of the freshman's season could be in jeopardy. Thompson has had a quiet first season at Kansas, averaging 5.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 17 minutes per contest. It's unclear how Thompson's vacated minutes will be divvied up moving forward, though Dajuan Harris and Tyon Grant-Foster appear to be the leading candidates if Self decides to elevate a member of the backcourt.
