Theory: Defending the BB versus minraise

Disclosure: MTTs are not my main game.

When I play MTTs it seems to me like everyone(including supposedly good regs?) is overfolding the BB v minraises-- particularly when they have <10BBs.

For example: late in a tournament, In the money. EP opens 14%, cbets flop 78%, and has an average ft3b%. EP opens and it folds to us in the BB. We have 7-10BB.

In this spot, it seems to me that clearly the best play is to call with a large portion of our range. Other players I talk with seem to suggest this is a shove or fold. If we call we have a simple post-flop strat: We can c/r any LLL/LLM/LMM flop when we hit, and donk any MMM with our range. Seems way more +EV than folding or jamming something like 22-66, j8s, j9o, K4s etc. Folding when getting 4:1 with 30-38% and and good play-ability seems atrocious.

Thoughts?
