Hello, friends. The end of an era is almost upon us. The New York Post is reporting that Jim Nantz will call his last NCAA Tournament next spring. The 63-year-old broadcaster has been the voice of the Final Four for more than three decades, calling his first Final Four in 1991. He will be succeeded by Ian Eagle, who has been with CBS since 1998.

“It’s his time,” Nantz said of Eagle. “I will support him 1,000 percent. He doesn’t need my support. But I’m absolutely thrilled for him. He’s a great teammate. He’s been right in the middle of this NCAA Tournament for a long, long time.
