But the foot- ball teams’s defense isn’t the only squad under the microscope. The No. 18 Baylor basketball team is undergoing some fundamental changes on the defensive side of the floor. Last season, the Bears ran a zone defense. This means that each of the five players on the floor is responsible for an offensive player only if they are inside of a cer- tain area of the floor. This season, men’s head coach Scott Drew will implement a man-to-man defense. In man-to-man, each player is re- sponsible for defending a specific offensive player, no matter where this player goes on the floor. A team that runs man-to-man defense nearly to perfection is the No. 1 Baylor women’s basketball team. The Lady Bears have not al- lowed an opponent to shoot over 50 percent from the floor since March 25, 2006. For a frame of ref- erence, that’s before the song “Tem- perature” by Sean Paul reached the top spot on the Billboard Top 100. According to junior guard Odyssey Matt Hellman | Lariat Photo Editor Sims, defense starts with effort. “You’ve got to keep the lead up,” how you keep playing no matter the left or right side of the floor and it weakens the play that the of- Usually quick players with long be solid.

By Connor Yearsley Reporter

At 5 p.m. today the bells in the belfry of Pat Neff Hall will knell as part of the homecoming festivities. Lynnette Geary, resident caril- lonneur (pronounced CARE-uh- lahn-oo-er), and one of her stu- dents, junior from Spring, Texas, Jonathan Castillo, will perform the annual homecoming carillon recital. Geary said she’s lost track of how many years she’s been per- forming this recital now, but she’d guess at least 16. “I like being part of it,” Geary said. “We’ve done this every year. It’s fun to have the carillon be a part of the celebration.” She took over performing the recital from her friend and prede- cessor, Herbert Colvin, who per- formed it beginning when Baylor first acquired the McLane Carillon in 1988. “It’s supposed to be a recital of music that’s easily accessible to the audience,” Geary said. “It’s fun to listen to. That’s why the music was chosen.” As is customary at Baylor, the program will begin with the “Dox- ology” and end with “That Good Old Baylor Line.” The program will also include “The Undulating Chimneys of Casa Batlló,” which is one of the movements from “Gaudi’s Chim- neys” by John Coulter, “Preludio Cou Cou” by Matthias van den Gheyn, “Selections from Fiddler on Connor Yearsley | Lariat Reporter the Roof” by Jerry Bock, “A Sweet Lynnette Geary stands beside the McLane Carillon located on the top floor of Pat Neff Hall.
