www.kansascity.com/167/story/453978.htmlMore lineup changes possible for MUBy MIKE DEARMOND The Kansas City Star Vaidotas Volkus will start a second straight game for Missouri, and that may not be the only lineup change when the Tigers play at Texas Tech on Wednesday night. MU coach Mike Anderson said the next two days of practice will determine what, if any, other changes will be made. But something has to give as Missouri – which has lost all four true road games this season – as the Tigers follow up the game at Tech with a Saturday afternoon game at Colorado. Two more road losses this week would drop MU to 11-9 and 1-4 in Big 12 Conference play. Volkus started his first career game on Saturday night, scoring eight points on four of five shooting in a 76-70 loss to Kansas in Columbia. It was the first game Leon Lyons had not started this season. The Tech game will likely repeat that lineup move. “He’s deserving,” Anderson said of Volkus. “He’s earned playing time as a matter of fact.” As for the possibility of other changes – perhaps replacing Matt Lawrence at guard where he has been so inconsistent from three-point range – Anderson said: “We’ll play it by ear.”
