Consistency was the key. Look back to the Elite 8 then forward. There weren't any blowouts. Any of those 8 could have won it all. UVa had to win in OT twice and the other game was on ft's w/a second left. One possession could have led to disaster. One slip up in either direction and there could have been a completely different outcome. The Cavs steadiness was their biggest asset.
