Tony Lane of the Valley News reported Tuesday that Dartmouth wings Leon Pattman and Johnathan Ball both will be game-time decisions on Friday night at Cornell due to injuries. Pattman hurt his ankle this weekend and played just nine minutes on Saturday. Ball suffered a fractured nose in the loss at Yale on Saturday and was fitted for a protective face mask.

Slant: Dartmouth’s quest for its first league will get much tougher if on or both aren’t able to go. Pattman is the Big Green’s leading scorer at 10.6 points per game and second in rebounding at 3.9 boards per contest. His absence would leave Mike Lang as the only reliable three-point threat at Terry Dunn’s disposal. Ball was coming off two of his better performances on the season after battling turf toe for a while. If the sophomore can’t play, Dunn will definitely miss his defense against a Cornell team whose wings are playing very well right now.
