Syracuse Basketball Team Graduates and Degrees

[50YRsofCuse]

Was reading John Gillon post on his obtaining his masters degree.

just wondering how many of Syracuse’s basketball greats graduate with a degree and in what field? How many came back and finished their degree?

For example, I know tht Pearl Washington returned and got his degree. I wondered if Paul Harris, Jonny Flynn, Others ever received degrees. I’m pretty sure (but could be wrong) that Carmelo Anthony has not received a degree. Any suggestions where to check this out easily?

Oh, and I wasn’t playing D1 hoops.

but - I drank at a Professional level.
