You are leaving out the word “Now”.
After the Kstate game has ended.

“Now let’s rip off 10 in a row”
Which is present tense and calling into action 10 wins from that point after the Kstate game.

Rewatching this morning. 16 of our first 19 points point blank in the paint. That's the way we dominate. Body blows.
We went on a long streak this year of more than our opponents.
I feel like Heft has mentioned we rattled off more than 20 straight games leading that stat.

The streak has already started. It is the present.

It would be 11 in a row. You can't rip off one in a row and then 10 in a row. "In a row" limits it to the wins that came in successive order, which would go back to the K State win. You can rip off "10 more" to win 11 in a row (assuming we're talking about winning a NC).

It's 10 in a row if you drop off the one at the end.

That's how you know if we came to play and will be tough to beat in any given game. Look at the last 5 games alone. Early on we either started pounding the paint or just standing around the 3 point line.

You would think the players would notice and be embarrassed by that when they watch the film.

That sounds a lot like some Iowa fans, especially after they made their conference tournament. I was talking to a buddy who said he thinks it’s been a decent year. He actually started to agree with me when I broke it down by saying having 1 singular Q1 win, zero ranked wins, maybe one win against teams making the ncaa tournament (Indiana), and getting the last seed in your conference tournament isn’t a decent year. It’s actually a bad year.

They've actually gone a step below making an NIT run.

Wonder if KCRG is carrying this as a major story.

I know rankings don't mean a whole lot once the chaos starts next week but has it been mentioned that ISU went wire to wire (I think) in the AP top ten?
