With the Spartans, Paulos became the 21st player in UNCG men’s basketball history to reach the 1,000-career point scoring mark, when he hit a second half 3-pointer against Samford. He ranks third all-time with 262 3-pointers made, and second all-time in UNCG history, with 125 games played. He scored a career-high 30 points at Chattanooga, against the Mocs, and he set a UNCG single-game record with 10 three-pointers made off the bench, as he was 10-of-12 (83.3%) from long range, in just 21 minutes of action. He hit his first four three-pointers of the game, before hitting six straight, on consecutive possessions in the second half, for the single-game record.

As a junior, he scored a season-high 27 points against Davidson, and set a UNCG record with a perfect 9-of-9 shooting from long range. As a senior, Paulos led the Southern Conference, and ranked 12th in NCAA Division I, with 1,178 minutes played. His minutes played are the most by a Spartan, in a single season in program history.
