In his final two seasons, he emerged as a starter and as a senior was selected Third Team All ECAC Metro and was a tri-captain. Yizar tallied 987 points for his career, scoring 24 points a game on four separate occasions. Two of his memorable games include a 22 point, 12 rebound effort against DePaul at Madison Square Garden during the 1979-1980 season and a 12 point, 20 rebound outing against Virginia and three time National Player of the Year, Ralph Sampson at the Garden during the 1980-1981 season.
