Tyce Melvin Game Report: vs Russell

On Friday, Norton got the W thanks in part to Tyce Melvin playing the best basketball he has all season. Melvin went 5 of 7 on his way to 13 points and four steals, good enough to set a new career-high in points in the process. He continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played.

Melvin and Norton will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Haven at 3:00 p.m. on January 3, 2025. Norton will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 59 places lower in Kansas), but they're not letting that get them down.
