The last law school student to play intercollegiate basketball at Georgetown, Chris Pavich graduated from the College in the accelerated class of 1943 and returned to Washington after World War II to earn a law degree. He played in seven games as a reserve for the 1945-46 team.

Pavich's obituary noted that he was a teacher and coach at Marquette High School, Ottawa, IL, and also served as an attorney for the Chicago Title and Trust Company in Peoria, IL from 1970 until retiring in 1983.
