ITHACA, N.Y. -- For the second time this year, Cornell senior men's basketball player Shonn Miller has been named the Ivy League Player of the Week it was announced Monday by the conference office.

Miller has had a dominant three-game stretch, including last week's split with a win at Siena (75-57) and an overtime home loss to Saint Peter's (59-52). The 6-7 forward was completely dominant in the two games for the Big Red, which continued to build on its status as the nation's most-improved team from a season ago. Miller posted impressive, back-to-back double-doubles, averaging 25.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 assists while shooting 50 percent from the floor, 57 percent from 3-point range and 86 percent from the free throw line. In the win at Siena, he poured in 26 points, two off his career high, and grabbed a career-best 15 rebounds to go along with an assist and a blocked shot. Miller followed up that game with 24 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, including the game-tying three-pointer with 31 seconds left, in the overtime loss to the Peacocks. Over his last three games, he is averaging 26.0 points and 11.7 rebounds per contest.

Miller and the Big Red visit Syracuse on Wednesday, Dec. 31 at 6 p.m. at the Carrier Dome in a game that will be televised on ESPNU.
