calling with low pocket pairs in final stages

Blinds: t80/t160 (7 Players) MP: 2,799
UTG+1: 2,244
CO: 3,055
BN: 2,859
SB: 1,291
BB: 1,148
UTG: 2,414 (Hero)
BN is tight overall but calling with broadways and suited connectors a bit too much.

Preflop (240) Hero is UTG with 2 2
Hero raises to 320, 3 folds, BN raises to 2,839 and is all in, 2 folds, Hero calls 2,074 and is all in
I was mostly playing TAG and the raise here is obviously a steal decided to exploit my image and also have less opponents...BN has raised me all in before and according to my reads i was kind of sure he is again holding high connectors yet again
Flop (5,613) 3 K 5
Turn (5,613) 3 K 5 4
River (5,613) 3 K 5 4 3
Final Pot BN wins and shows two pair, Kings and Threes.
UTG lost and shows two pair, Threes and Deuces.
BN wins 5,168

So , did i play it right?

How can this be a final stage of anything? Is this a sit and go? You need to post more specific information about the hand if you want to get any meaningful answer.

gbeer, why are you so aggressive with your response, I have never played an mtt where the mid/later stages are 80/160 blinds. Anyway if this is later stages is there ICM to consider? If so there are a number of stacks who are shorter than you. Even in terms of pure chip ev. If you suspect villain is overly aggressive would it not be better to wait for a better spot and just open fold 22 utg. As played I would just fold to the jam. You are only flipping against any two and crushed vs all other pairs. You still have enough stack left to wait for a better spot
