    NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - Ryan Wittman scored 20 points and Cornell routed Yale 79-59 on Saturday night, moving into a tie for the second most wins in a season in Ivy League history with 27.

    Wittman hit 6 of 10 3-pointers and the Big Red (27-4, 13-1 Ivy League) shot 57.1 percent (12 of 21) from long range, including 8 of 10 in the second half.
