Call a shove with JJ?

Hi.
I usually play 6-max cash, but I got a ticket for this MTT for free, so I participated. I don't know much about MTTs, so this is a rather basic question.

The MTT is a 6-max, re-entry allowed (I don't plan to re-enter). I have about 60BB. Overall, my stack is somewhere in middle of the field (about 70 people remain, 10 or so get paid), and we're nowhere near the money.

I open from UTG, 2.25x with JJ. It folds around to SB, who is rather tight and straightforward. He has about 110BB and is the biggest stack at the table. He shoves and BB folds. I had seen SB make this kind of play before a few times, and every time he had AK. So I call. He did show AK this time as well.

My question is: do I call here? If this was a cash game, I would call here every time, given that I had a very strong read on villain. But I don't know if things are different in MTTs. If I win the flip, I would be somewhere in the top 10 or top 5 stacks. If I lose, I'd bust, obviously.
