Colonials to Play Without Pops: George Washington senior forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu has a slight tear in his left knee and will miss about two weeks, possibly more. Mensah-Bonsu injured cartilage in his knee Wednesday in the team’s victory against La Salle. The Colonials possess a 15-game winning streak, longest in the country, but need to finish strong to earn a high seed in the NCAA Tournament. With an embarrassingly weak strength of schedule, the selection committee will closely watch Mensah-Bonsu’s progress to determine whether he’ll be out for the tournament. Committee members will also evaluate the Colonials’ performance during the forward’s absence. Mensah-Bonsu averages 13.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, both of which are good for second on the team. [2/24/06]
