Hearing his voice crack on that line choked me up. Life only gives you a handful of these moments.

My fave Jim Nantz call: "Gives it to Jenkins, for the Villanova! Phenomenal! The national champions, with Jenkins hitting the winner at the buzzer!!"

Thank YOU Jim Nantz for being OUR friend throughout this legendary NCAA career. The Final Four will definitely not be the same without you Mr. Nantz but you’re passing the Final Four torch to a worthy successor in Ian Eagle

This also was Greg Gumbels last NCAA tournament :( 2 legends last tournament

[bman]

He’s nailed so many moments in his career so it’s no surprise he nailed this one.

[sawyerhinck]

Will miss you Jim always be remembered

[demer]

March isn’t going to be the same without you. Thank you for being our friend Jim 🍻

My favorite Nantz NCAA call, that almost was the call of all calls, was ... “ Ooohhh, it almost went in!! Almost went in!…And Duke is the King of the Dance 2010”. I just want to hear what Nantz would have said if Hayward’s shot went in for the cinderella Butler. I imagine it would have been nothing but simply epic.

It just won’t be the same without you Jim and you said thank you for being my friend and we want to say to you thank you for being OUR friend for all these years

Jim Nantz is GOLD! And congrats on this incredible run💯

[crocowithaglocko]

Props to the run
Here’s hoping he has a good one 🫡

[J.Housman]

It’s going to be very emotional when he says goodbye in 2039 his final games of the Super Bowl and the masters. I’m going to picture Tony and Jim crying and hugging and says until
we meet again friends.

Thanks for the memories, Jim Nantz. Thank you for calling March Madness.

Great announcer. Always will be a legend to me. Jim, Thank you for being my friend.

[Noname-nsmd]

Oh come on why'd he have to do that 😥
Jim your contributions to March Madness and NCAA basketball as a whole will never be forgotten and sorely missed in the years to come. I just feel lucky I got to hear you call one last "Rock chalk championship!" last year. The true gold standard of broadcasting. Thanks friend, and farewell 🫡

The NCAA basketball community misses you Jim. But at least the NFL has you.

[PGar]

Nantz/Hill/Raft were magic. What a fun listen. The good news is that Ian Eagle is as good in his own way. Props on a great run Jim and we'll see you at the Masters, the Travelers and on NFL Sundays. PS. Maybe reach out to Joe Buck.

[andrewfung]

At least he's still doing the NFL

[jhpvids]

Doesn't get much better than that ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you Mr. Nantz
