Default Calling a possibly loose over-raise all-in with nines

Kind of new to MTT's. Not sure how reasonable this is, or if it's an easy fold. Villain in this hand seems a bit loose in the few hands I've been at this table for. He's also had to lay down a couple recent hands to my raises. This is one of the stars 180 player SNG's. There's approximately 45 people left at this point, and I believe I was 5th in chips. I don't really care about just making the money.

My thinking was he didn't seem like the type to overpush like that with Aces or Kings. I figured at worst he had 2 overs and there was at least a decent chance he has 1 overcard, or even a smaller pair. Js and Tens are a possibility, too, I think.

Like I said, I'm not too big into MTT's, mostly a limit ring or Sit and Go player. For you MTT vets, is this an easy call? An easy fold with a big chip stack? I really have no idea what is optimal in this situation for MTT's.
