There's a StubHub physical location at 114 W 40th in the basement of a hotel. When we were out there for the 2K Classic, if you waited until an hour or two before the game, ticket prices drop through the floor. I'd expect the BET to have a little higher demand, but we got one row off courtside for Marquette/Pitt for under $70 per ticket. It's nice because there's no fear of fake tickets and they can print them out for you at the site. From there, it's about a 15-20 minute walk over to MSG.
Also works for just about anything you need ticket to. The guy even said sometimes you can find Hamilton tickets around $200 if you wait right before the show.
