I can’t think of another team that just got hot. I guess an argument could be made for 88 but i was small enough I couldn’t argue it effectively.

Yeah, that team came to mind as a 'house money' team... and a few of those games were painful grinding games to watch, so once they made it through to the final, I opened a 22oz Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad and was going determined to feel good by the end of that one no matter what.
'04 was shorter lived, but I do remember everyone picking Pacific as the sexy upset that year, then everyone picking UAB, then everyone picking Georgia Tech... and they at least got it to OT. Not that they got hot of course, but at least that was a lower expectation year from what I remember.
And then '18 with that prick Grayson Allen's last second attempt bouncing around on the rim 400 times and then out was pretty damn glorious, as everyone expected Duke to advance.
