Welcome to Green Monday!
Green Monday is an online shopping day similar to Cyber Monday, and it occurs on the last Monday when there are at least ten days prior to Christmas, which usually happens to be the second Monday in December.

As many retailers now offer guaranteed two-day shipping, the importance of getting all online shopping done by Green Monday has lessened.

So why did Duke lose?
It wasn’t just one thing. There were a number of things that contributed to Duke’s (11-1, 0-1 ACC) loss, including that Boston College (7-3, 1-0 ACC) played well. But here are some more reasons why Duke lost:
Too many quick shots, not enough Bagley
Time and time again, whenever Duke found itself down in previous games, the Blue Devils went to the player who couldn’t be stopped, Marvin Bagley III.
