Sure, Tim Duncan and Chris Paul played for the Demon Deacons at one point, but theirs has been a very bleak existence since Paul left for the NBA 15 years ago, especially in the past decade. Wake Forest has missed the tournament in eight of the past nine seasons (about to be nine of 10) and hasn't won a tournament game since 2010 or a conference title of any kind since 2003. The team's most recent Sweet 16 came in 2004 , when Paul was a freshman.
All of that is enough to make a Wake fan hate March Madness, but the lack of on-court success is exacerbated by having two of college basketball's blue bloods as rivals. As the Demon Deacons have suffered, their fans had had to watch Duke and North Carolina combine for 10 national titles and countless conference titles / Final Four appearances since 1982. Wake's only Final Four? 1962.
