Columbia, Mo. ? Missouri men’s basketball coach Quin Snyder’s lineup shake-up brought the desired result, and he threatened to do it again if it’ll keep his team on track.

The No. 23 Tigers (5-4) ended a puzzling three-game losing streak in which they fell behind by 21 points to Illinois, by 15 to Memphis and 10 to Belmont, then staged furious rallies that fell just short, with a dominating 76-56 victory Saturday over Iowa. Linas Kleiza and Travon Bryant each missed double-doubles by one rebound to make up for poor games from standouts Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding.

To get his team’s attention, Snyder benched Johnson for the first time since Feb. 27, 2002, at Texas Tech, and benched senior guard Josh Kroenke. Snyder replaced those two with Kevin Young and freshman Thomas Gardner.

“I’m going to start a different lineup every game, how’s that?” Snyder said. “It shouldn’t matter who starts.

“We had a lineup that I left in for a while because they were winning, they were playing great, and it’s going to change from game to game.”

Johnson, who entered averaging a team-leading 14.6 points and 8.1 rebounds, drew three quick fouls in the first half and finished with four points, three rebounds and two blocked shots. Kroenke had started the first eight games of the season, but his playing time has been decreasing since fellow guards Jason Conley and Randy Pulley became eligible at the semester break.

At the least, Snyder has plenty of options heading into the Big 12 Conference opener Wednesday at Iowa State.

“I don’t know who’s going to start on Wednesday,” Snyder said. “We’ll see who comes to work tomorrow at 8 a.m.”

Saturday, it was Kleiza with 18 points to match his career best and nine rebounds, and Bryant with 14 points, nine rebounds and four blocked shots. But Bryant only had two points and two rebounds against Belmont, and Kleiza only had one point and four rebounds two games ago against Memphis.

“We’ve gotten great fire out of both of them,” Snyder said. “Also, we’ve lost them for times. We lost Travon the last game and he knows it. That’s the challenge, that’s the consistency.”
