Robert Kranz played for the Setters from 1964 to 1967 and was a leadership figure for the Pace men's basketball teams of the mid to late '60s. Kranz currently sits 11^th all-time with 1,282 career points, and graduated from Pace as the program's second all-time scorer. Across the 67 games he played in his three-year career, Kranz averaged 19.1 points per game.

After helping lead the Setters to a Knickerbocker Conference title and a postseason tournament appearance in the 1964-65 season with 14.9 points per game, Kranz had the best season of his career the next year. He averaged a team-best 24.1 points per game in 1965-66, including a then-school record of 50 points against Stevens on January 17, 1966. Kranz led the conference in scoring that season en route to being named the Knickerbocker Conference MVP.

Kranz captained the team during the 1966-67 season, finishing his senior year as the team's second leading scorer with 19.3 points per contest, and was an All-Knickerbocker selection in each of his three seasons. Teammates have described Kranz as an intelligent player, a devoted teammate, and a leader on and off the court.
