2016-17 (Junior): Thomas played in 25 games as a junior and scored 26 points with 21 assists and 18 rebounds. She also made 5-of-6 free throw attempts. She scored in CU’s season-opening win at Northern Colorado on Nov. 11, making 1-of-2 field goal attempts and adding an assist and a steal. She had four points in a win at North Dakota State on Nov. 22. Thomas notched season highs of 10 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals in a win over Southeastern Louisiana, hitting 4-of-5 from the floor and sinking both of her free throw attempts. She also had five points in a season-high 22 minutes in a win over Idaho State on Dec. 3.
2015-16 (Sophomore): Thomas played in all 30 games for the Buffs and matched a career-high with four starts as she averaged 19.5 minutes per game. She averaged 3.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists, all of which were personal-bests. Her top offensive performance came in Colorado’s eighth game of the season when she posted a career-high 12 points against Northern Arizona (12/9) on 4-of-5 shooting and 2-for-2 from both behind the arc and at the free throw line. Thomas also recorded at least four rebounds in five games during the season. She made a trip to the free throw line in nine games and was perfect from the charity stripe on four of those occasions.
2014-15 (Freshman): Saw the most consistent time of all first-year Buffaloes, playing in 32 games with four starts at point guard, averaging 3.3 points and 1.3 assists. Thomas answered the call in her first big test as a starter. With senior Lexy Kresl sitting out to rest an injury, Thomas made her first start against region rival Wyoming (12/21). She had nine points, three rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes against the Cowgirls. Thomas also logged a pair of starts with Kresl in the home games with Washington State (2/13) and Washington (2/15) as the Buffaloes went to a smaller, quicker lineup. She set a career high in points with 11 in the home win over Utah (1/14), hitting a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line. She worked on developing her shooting touch throughout the season, and it showed during conference play. Thomas made 33 percent from 3-point range during Pac-12 games (9-of-27) and also made 86 percent from the line during that same time frame (12-of-14).

She hit 47 percent from the field and was even more accurate from 3-point range, shooting 51 percent (72-of-141).
