Shaka did take a team from the play-in game to the Final Four. Which means in every game except for the first, VCU beat a higher seeded team.
The last time Wake beat a higher seeded team was in 2010 when the #9 seed Deacs beat the #8 seed Texas Longhorns. Before that it was 1993 when the #5 seed Deacs beat the #4 seed Iowa Hawkeyes. In 1984, the # 4 seed Deacs beat the #1 seed Depaul Blue Demons. Teams were not seeded in the 1977, 1962, 1961, 1953, or 1939 tourneys. To be fair, I think that the 1977 team exceeded expectations in the tourney.
Wake has been beaten by lower seeds in 2009, 2005, 2003, 2001, 1997, 1995, 1992, and 1981.
So Wake has played to seed 7 times, pulled off upsets over higher seeds 3 times, and has been upset by lower seeds 8 times.
Wake has a woeful NCAA Tournament history. And NCAA Tourney success is all that matters any more.

The 1977 team beat a 26-1 Arkansas team in the first round. After two more wins we were close to beating Marquette in the regional finals. Had we won, we would have played Charlotte, a team that we had already beaten. The next game would have been against UNC. We were 2-1 against UNC that year, but they won the NCAA Tournament.

Seeing some UT fans calling for #ShakaSmart to be fired. As I reported earlier this week, several boosters have come forward and offered to pay the buyout. Smart is 66-66 at Texas. #HookEm #Big12MBB
