While working on something big for princetonbasketball.com's 1000th post (we're almost there and I think you'll enjoy it when it goes live in a few days), I happened across a reel-to-reel of Jim Nantz promos for Princeton basketball broadcasts on WPRB.
There are two takes of the longer spot, then single takes of a couple shorter reads.
I'd guess these are from the 1990-91 season. Enjoy.

princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world.
