What we learned about Dakota in the first half

** Hasheem Thabeet can block shots and rebound (he has six boards at the break). So far, he doesn't look like an offensive juggernaut, but he is a presence in the middle and can alter shots.

** Dakota started the game hitting 1 of its first 14 shots as Tulsa shot to a 12-3 lead. Since then, the Wizards offense has been tough to slow down.

** Cheyne Gadson is having a nice homecoming. The former Oklahoma State player has eight points off the bench on 4-of-5 shooting for the Wizards.

** Mustafa Shakur is having his typical solid game, 13 points and attacking the basket (even with Thabeet in there).

** When Moses Ehambe is on, there's not a more deadly shooter in the league. He's 2-of-2 in the first half off the bench for five points.
