This string, though, does confirm my sense as to why Dawkins has to be replaced:  he puts together a pretty good game plan [defensively, at least] that flummoxes U.SC; despite missing 40% of his starting lineup and having no home court advantage whatsoever, the team absolutely dominates [to the point of being able to play a guy down at the end of the bench with a knee-brace for several possessions at the end and STILL win by 20]; and, the conclusion everyone reaches is that ..."Dawkins stinks!" 

Not everyone, 76lsjumb. My conclusion (see above) is that Stanford is in position to finish ahead of UCLA in the conference standings for the first time since 2003-04. That's at least glass half full.
