Anderson compiles starting lineup
It's less than a week before Missouri begins its regular season, and coach Mike Anderson is still trying to figure out his starting lineup.
The Tigers open regular-season
play Monday at home against Central Michigan. Their last exhibition tuneup is Thursday night at home against Missouri Western.
Marshall Brown and Matt Lawrence started 29 and 30 games, respectively, last season, and Leo Lyons has improved steadily since Anderson's arrival. Missouri also has DaMarre Carroll, who sat out all of last year after transferring from Vanderbilt.
"We're going to have five, six or seven starters, I've always said that," Missouri's second-year coach, coming off an 18-12 debut season, said.
The Tigers seem set at guard with Stephon Hannah, last season's Big 12 newcomer of the year, and sophomore Keon Lawrence. The forward position is more muddled.
"But we'll put some combinations out there, and we'll see how they respond."
"I think each guy brings different things to the table," Anderson said.
Carroll said he and Lyons provided a rebounding presence, an area of emphasis for Anderson after Missouri finished 10th in the Big 12 in 2006-07.
"The thing I'm looking for is the guy that will go out there, play defense, play hard, leave it on the floor and play aggressive."
