The road to this year's men's college basketball championship goes through San Francisco, as Chase Center plays host to the west regional sweet sixteen and elite eight games.  The match-ups feature two of the nation's most popular programs in the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Duke Blue Devils.  Gonzaga is the number one overall seed and favorite to win.  While Duke features legendary head coach Mike Krzyzewski, the all-time winningest coach in history, coaching in his 41st and final season.

KCBS Radio's Matt Pitman caught up with diehard fans from all over the country ahead of the first of two nights of basketball at San Francisco's Chase Center.
