The '''2023–24 Wake Forest Demon Deacons men's basketball team'''
The Demon Deacons started the season 1–1, defeating [[2023–24 Elon Phoenix men's basketball team|Elon]] and losing to [[2023–24 Georgia Bulldogs basketball team|Georgia]] before participating in the [[Charleston Classic]]. They ended up in sixth place in the tournament after losing to [[2023–24 Utah Utes men's basketball team|Utah]] in the opening round and [[2023–24 LSU Tigers men's basketball team|LSU]] in overtime in the fifth place game. From there, the Demon Deacons went on a six game winning streak defeating five non-Power 7 foes and [[2023–24 Florida Gators men's basketball team|Florida]] in the [[ACC–SEC Challenge]]. Their hot streak continued as they won their first three ACC games. The team cooled off and only one two of their next six games with losses against [[NC State–Wake Forest rivalry|rivals]] [[2023–24 NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team|NC State]] and [[North Carolina–Wake Forest rivalry|rivals]] [[2023–24 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team|North Carolina]] who were ranked third at the time. The team then reversed their fortunes and won five of their next seven games, with the only two losses coming against ninth-ranked [[2023–24 Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team|Duke]] and twenty-first ranked [[2023–24 Virginia Cavaliers men's basketball team|Virginia]]. During that streak, they avenged the rivalry loss to NC State and defeated then eighth-ranked Duke. The team could not carry that momentum through the final four games of the season as they lost three of those games. Their only win came on the final day of the season against [[2023–24 Clemson Tigers men's basketball team|Clemson]].
The Demon Deacons finished the season 21–14 overall and 11–9 in [[2023–24 Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball season|ACC play]] to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place. After winning both tiebreakers, they were awarded the fifth seed in the [[2024 ACC men's basketball tournament|ACC tournament]]. They received a bye into the Second Round where they defeated twelfth seed [[2023–24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's basketball team|Notre Dame]], avenging a loss from the regular season. They lost to fourth seed [[2023–24 Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team|Pittsburgh]] in the Quarterfinals. They received an at-large bid to the [[2024 National Invitation Tournament|National Invitation Tournament]] and were a first seed. They defeated [[2023–24 Appalachian State Mountaineers men's basketball team|Appalachian State]] in the First Round before losing to fourth-seed Georgia in the Second Round to end their season.
