WASHINGTON — After 32 years of being the voice of The Big Dance and March Madness CBS lead play-by-play voice Jim Nantz is passing the headset to Ian Eagle and ending his run after Monday’s National Championship Game in Houston on CBS. It is this city that his career began, Nantz is a graduate of the University of Houston where he played on the Cougars men’s golf team, rooming with future professional golfers Fred Couples and Blaine McCallister as well as working on the campus radio station and local outlet KHOU -TV.
During a media call recently with the CBS crew Nantz got to reflect on his love of college basketball.
