Wake Forest Demon Deacons Tickets |
Alabama Crimson Tide |
Wake Forest is widely regarded as a competitive basketball team, one that often qualifies for the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship (20 times in the school's history). The men's basketball team has made 16 straight postseason appearances (through their NIT appearance in 2006), the longest such streak in the ACC. They reached the Final Four once, in 1962. The school's famous basketball alumni include Billy Packer, a guard on the 1962 Final Four team who became far more famous as a basketball broadcaster, Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, one of the shortest players ever to play in the NBA, Dallas Mavericks star Josh Howard, Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets, and two-time league MVP and three-time NBA Finals MVP Tim Duncan. Laurence Joel Veterans Colisium Stadium is the home venue for the Demon. Student attendance of Wake Forest Football and Basketball games is high, in part due to the program known as "screaming demons". At the beginning of each respective atheletic season students can sign up for the program whereby they pay $15 dollars in return for a tie dye t-shirt and card that serves as an automatic pass to the sporting events. They lose this priviledge if they miss too many of the games, and this encourages game attendance.
