Buy early. Noone who wants to go to the game less than 24 hours before it starts should be whining. Either get a full strip to the BE tourney through SU and take the risks we lose, buy before the tourney starts and have faith we make the semis/finals, or pay the freakin piper.
I got some nice 100 level seats for 220 before fees on stubhub 5 minutes after the Pitt game ended. Stubhub is great I don't deserve lower prices and it wasn't rocket science that the last Syracuse Big East Tourney appearance would be a big deal if we made it to friday.
