In 2017–18, the Deacs posted a pair of wins over Sweet 16 teams, downing Syracuse and Florida State and last year posted a win over a nationally ranked NC State squad. In 2019–20, the Demon Deacons posted wins over nationally ranked Xavier and Duke. 16 players made the dean's list and 29 players made 3.0 at some point during their career at WF.<ref name=":0" /> After going 78–111 in six seasons—only 1 winning record and never finishing better than 10th in the ACC—Manning was [[dismissal (employment)|dismissed]] on April 25, 2020, from Wake Forest.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wake Forest Announces Head Men's Basketball Coach Transition |url=https://godeacs.com/news/2020/4/25/general-wake-forest-announces-head-mens-basketball-coach-transition.aspx |website=godeacs.com |access-date=April 27, 2020 |date=April 25, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Tait|first=Matt|date=2020-04-25|title=Danny Manning dismissed by Wake Forest|url=http://www2.kusports.com/news/2020/apr/25/danny-manning-dismissed-wake-forest/|access-date=2020-08-21|website=KUsports.com|language=en}}</ref>
