Following the commitment of five-star big man Caleb Swanigan, Michigan State Spartan fans have seemingly all put their eggs in the 2016 national title basket. While it’s never smart to do so, everyone is thinking it’s a 2016 NCAA Tournament title or bust type of year. Fans aren’t the only ones who think MSU should be a title favorite, Las Vegas is even taking notice.
Just a couple days after the conclusion of the 2014-15 college basketball season, Vegas had released its first version of the national title odds for the 2015-16 season. In that first release of odds, the Spartans had the eighth-best odds of any team to win the 2016 title.
