In the basketball program, the Wake Forest is viewed as a comparatively successful team, and it often advances to the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. The basketball team has gained 16 straight postseason appearances; this is the longest such period in the ACC. In 1962, they even managed to reach the Final Four. The University's most prominent basketball alumni include Billy Packer, a guard on the 1962 Final Four team, Tyrone Muggsy Bogues, Dallas Mavericks, Chris Paul, and Tim Duncan. Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum is the place, where the Demon Deacon basketball team plays its home games.

The number of students, attending Wake Forest Basketball games is particularly high. Partially, this is because of the program Screamin Demons. At the beginning of each sports season students can enroll for the program, while they have to pay $30 dollars for a team-shirt and card, which serves as pass to the sports games. They may lose the advantages of the pass if they are absent from at least two of the games. This inspires the fans to come to the games each time as there may be very important and enthusiastic matches. Basketball game tickets in the student area, especially near the opponent fans, can sometimes be really difficult to get, without being a member of the Screamin Demon program. Although such students are guaranteed a seat, they still sometimes have to fight through the night to get the best tickets in the house.
