ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell senior forward Ryan Wittman captured his third Ivy League Player of the Week honor after helping the Big Red to an overtime victory over Davidson. Wittman joins Harvard's Jeremy Lin and Columbia's Noruwa Agho as three-time weekly honorees this season.

In one of the biggest stages in all of college basketball, Wittman hit a shot that will go down among the greatest in the “Mecca of College Basketball”. He drained a 35-foot 3-pointer as time expired in overtime, lifting Cornell to a 91-88 victory over Davidson on Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. That capped off a 29-point, three-rebound, two-assist day for Wittman and propelled Cornell into the finals of the MSG Holiday Festival. His seven 3-pointers in the game are the fifth-most in Cornell history and made him the first Cornellian and Ivy League player to surpass 300 career 3-pointers. He ended the day with 301. His 29 points moved him into the top 20 in the Ancient Eight in career scoring, moving all the way to 16th with 1,612 points. He ranks among the Ivy leaders in scoring (19.1 ppg), 3-pointers and 3-point field goal percentage.

Wittman and the Big Red will attempt to capture the MSG Holiday Festival today when it faces St. John's at 9 p.m.
