 -69
-George Thompson earned three letters as a member of the Marquette University basketball program (1966-69) and holds the program’s all-time scoring record with 1,773 points. Thompson averaged 20.2 points per game during his career, tops all- time at Marquette, and helped Marquette a record of 68-20 during his three years. When he concluded his college career, he held the school’s career mark in field goals (656) and free throws (457). His 664 points during 1967-68 still holds up as the highest seasonal mark by a school junior. He led the team in scoring his final two years and was selected as an All-American in 1968-69. His jersey (#24) is retired and he was chosen to the NABC 1994 Balfour Silver Anniversary All-America Team. He went on to play for Memphis and Pittsburgh in the American Basketball Association and for Milwaukee in the NBA. Inducted in 1980.
