Moreso than his vocal style or delivery--I was speaking about his overall knowledge of the game and the teams that are involved in the tournament.

In the past, before the tourney brackets were confirmed, Nantz used to try to pick the teams he thought would make it, their eventual seeds, the regions they would land, etc... Some years, he would reportedly be 95% accurate with his picks.
