Travel from NYC Penn Station to the Izod Center in NJ? -

My husband and I are visiting NYC over New Year s and we ll be going to a Nets-Cavs game in New Jersey. I found the NJ Transit website (below) regarding travel to the Izod Center and it says that I will connect in Seacaucus Junction. Should I purchase tickets in advance? There seem to be several trains so I m not sure it s necessary. How early should we leave - game is at 1 p.m. Thanks for any help.http://www.njtransit.com/sf/sf_servlet.s��
