I think any kind of respectable finish to the season - and maybe Dawkins' job - is on the line tonight.
Looking at the seven games after OSU, I think 3-4 is about the best that can be expected and 2-5 or 1-6 is definitely possible the way they have been playing of late. Stanford needs to 4-4 in these last 8 games to have a regular season above .500 and have a winnable first-round matchup in the conference tournament.
A loss tonight leads to a five-game losing streak, little hope of a winning record overall, a likely 7-11/6-12 conf record or worse, and a more likely first-round loss in the conf tournament with no postseason.
I hope they go out and play their hearts out.
