Paul Glodis starred for the Plattsburgh State men’s basketball team from 1979 to 1983, when he compiled 1,119 career points. He finished his career fifth on the school’s all-time scoring chart, and ranked eighth at the time of his 2008 Cardinal Sports Hall of Fame induction.
Glodis is the only men’s basketball player in the Hall to have scored 400 points twice, doing so in back-to-back seasons. He poured in a career-best 450 as a junior in 1981-1982, more than doubling his point-total from the previous season. Then as a senior, he made 405. He earned first-team all-SUNYAC and all-region honors in both of those seasons.
Glodis lists eighth all-time for field goals made in a season with 189 in 1981-1982. Known as one of the best shooters in school history, he made 61.4 percent of his field goal attempts for fifth-best in a single season in 1982-1983 and 59.2 percent for eighth all-time in 1981-1982.
The 1979 Cardinals were SUNYAC tri-champions during his freshman campaign, seeing the Red and White post an 18-9 record (9-2 in conference) and earning a spot in the ECAC Upstate Tournament.

Favorite Plattsburgh Sports Moment
"Beating NCAA Division I University of Vermont (on the road, Nov. 29, 1978) during my first collegiate game of my freshman year." (Note: Then-coach Norm Law put Paul in the final few minutes of the game to guard UVM’s top player. Paul had two steals in the final 50 seconds of play and gave the game winning assist to his teammate, who scored the winning basket, 89-87.)
