My thought on this team is just getting to the tournament would be enough.
According to @ELA 's table, Ohio State and Wisconsin are nearly identical and I think the situation is similar for both.  On any given good day they can have a great game and light someone up (ie, UW winning in Ann Arbor) but on a bad day they are vulnerable to any B1G team.  I think both will wind up somewhere close to the bubble with the difference being a few buckets here or there.  Despite @ELA 's table ranking them almost identically, Wisconsin seems to be in a little better place largely because of the upset win in Ann Arbor.

The table is just net efficiency and conference play, which isn’t all that meaningful early on.

I saw one metric that has OSU in worse shape by a decent margin, though I suppose that reflects Ohio State being a bit behind and having a bunch oh harder games ahead.

Yeah, it's like a 6 game sample size.

However, KenPom has Wisconsin #37 and Ohio State #38
