The 2015-16 version of the Cyclones have a number of problems, most notably a lack of wins in Big 12 conference play. After giving up two 58 point halves in consecutive games, the spotlight is on the defense, and when you think Cyclone defense, you have to look at the 2014-15 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year: Jameel McKay.
McKay is a polarizing figure with the Cyclone fanbase. On one hand, his highlight reel dunks are something fans haven't seen since the days of Kelvin Cato or Rahshon Clark. On the other, his frequent pleas to referees and his seemingly worsening defense lead some to worry he's regressing beyond repair.
