Sorry.

I'm not.

Here is a joke.... A Chinese guy who plays for Manhattan, an Israeli guy who plays for Manhattan, and a Lithuanian guy who plays for Manhattan, all walk in to Allen Field House.
The Chinese guy asks, 加拉格尔教练，我可以去看看篮球原来的规则吗？
The Israeli guy asks, המאמן גלאגר, מה לעזאזל מתכוון היזהרו מהפוג?
The Lithuanian guys asks, Kas, po velnių, negerai su Gutteriu?

If anyone bothers to do the translation, it's actually not a terrible joke.

Wrong. It is a terrible joke. What is wrong with you?

In other words....
Either a. You didn't do the translation or b. You are playing on the punch line.

The more I think about it, it really isn't a good joke.
In all seriousness, I hope ALL the kids on Manhattan enjoy their experience in Allen.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU!
Or as the Israeli kid might say to me..... היית פעם כמו סלע עכשיו אתה רך כאבן גיר.
Translation - You were a rock once, now you're crumbling like old chalk.

Is there a good strategy for when to buy? Like, as late as possible, as long as there are a decent amount of tickets still available?

Tickets for the CC are ridiculously expensive in the secondary market. Heck, face value is expensive.

Answer to your first question is PROBABLY no. I find none are necessarily "better" than the others.
Fwiw (not much) twice in the last couple of years I have been fucked by Stubhub and once by Vivid. That being said, eventually they both made it right but not after major hassles.

Answer to your second and third questions are...For ME, the best strategy for peace of mind is to buy early. Yes, you will pay more but if peace of mind is more important than some money that won't change your life one way or the other, then pay up and buy now.
If the money truly does matter, then yes - it's is PROBABLY best to wait it out. Tickets will PROBABLY get cheaper being that there are many available.
I would NOT wait until the last minute (meaning a few hours before the games) to buy from a "secondary site". Main reason being if someone doesn't transfer their ticket/s right away, it becomes a pain in the ass waiting - or possibly not even getting them and then hoping the secondary site finds you a comparable replacement - which takes time. I just went through that with Stubhub for a Northwestern Football game. Wanted to get in early. Never was sent the ticket. Had to continuously harp on Stubhub to get me a replacement. Had to wait until about 10 minutes before kickoff to finally get the replacement.

Thing to remember is the CC is on a Tuesday. Not too many college kids will be traveling for this. Most people who want tickets either have them already or are waiting it out until they get cheaper.

Side note - I'm typically given a ticket. For some unknown reason my company chose NOT to get tickets this year. Thus, I will not be given a ticket.
I will NOT pay more than a couple of hundred for a ticket and I will not sit in a bad seat - so it looks like I am not going to the games. While of course it's enjoyable to be in the atmosphere, staying home (or going somewhere) and watching on TV isn't a terrible secondary option.

Got ticket on StubHub. Seemed like a good deal relative to the other available tickets for the past several days. But man, had to pay $100 in fees.
