Is this the first time the overall #1 NBA pick was from a school that did not participate in any postseason tournament?

Olowakandi didnt make the tourney his senior year. Made it the year before though.



Eta: didnt see the any post season tourney part. Doesnt really count sense we tourned the invite down.

There was one other. This trivia fact came up during a broadcast this season. I'll look it up.

ETA: Nerlens Noel out of Kentucky and Chris Bosh also missed the NCAAT, although they weren't a #1 overall.

Mychal Thompson from Minnesota in 1978 was the last overall #1 pick to not play in post season play.
