"The degree is what mattered to me," Lysa Shead admitted when talking about Jamal earning his degree from the University of Houston. "That's what we were shooting for. So, to have all this extra - that's a plus."Jamal Shead left UH with the second-most victories, 120, in program history. In his final season with the Coogs, he was voted First-Team All-America and the National Defensive Player of the Year.
