During Thursday’s men’s basketball game, CAB hosted a tailgate featuring student organizations such as Esports and AES Intramural Rodeo. The tailgate also offered ACU students free food and snacks from Chick-fil-A, The Toasted Traveler, and Bahama Buck’s. The tailgate at “Shoot Your Shot Night” also featured a table with candy and heart-shaped notes for students to write on and give away.
