Cal at UCLA: Game Day Q&A with California Golden Blogs

PrintToday, we have the biggest test of the season (I know that has been said often before). California is in first place in the Pac-12 and only 2 games ahead of UCLA. Almost as importantly, California is possibly the only top-50 RPI win that UCLA can get the rest of the season.
TwistNHook at California Golden Blogs (CGB) exchanged interviews with us. The Bruins Nation interview is here. They are scared of us, according to TwistNHook, but unlike say Washington, they have talent and a coach and there is a reason that they are the only Pac-12 team to blow us out this year. Check out CGB for more info on the Bears.
Many thanks to TwistNHook for the interview. Check out his answers to our questions after the jump. Go Bruins!
1. Bruins Nation picked Cal to win the Pac 12 and Cal is in second place but I don’t understand how this team can win at UW (9-2 in conference) and lose at Washington State(4-7), win at Oregon (I think the hardest place to play in the Pac 12 7-4) but lose at Oregon State (5-6). Is the team up and down?
3. Is Robert Thurman for real? He came seemingly out of nowhere to destroy UCLA in that game early this year at Cal in the second half but I saw he also had a big game against Washington.
5. Can California go to the NCAA Tournament without winning the Pac 12 regular season or post season titles?
6. Predictions for the game.
I haven't had a good handle on how UCLA has played this season. At all. Every time I think I have it figured out, they turn the corner the other way. When I think the UCLA season is over, Josh Smith comes out and dominates like he was supposed, and the Wear brothers look like All-Pac 12 players and UCLA beats Colorado by 17.

Hell of a player too
He really bothered me because he was so good on D throughout his whole career, and then last year he ruined Malcolm’s heroics in Berkeley. Jorge would be the perfect Ben Ball Warrior with his toughness and defense. WIll definitely be happy to see him leave after the year for our sake.

Thanks to TwistNHook and DC for the Q&A
I still have nightmares from what Jorge did to us in the game and OT at Cal last year. And that was with Malcolm Lee helping to defend him. Not sure what answer we’ll have today.
Seems Twist is just as confused by our team as we are. Hope we see the home Bruins instead of the road Bruins today, but you never know.
