Previous season

The 2008–09 Bulldogs finished the season 23–13 (9–7 in SEC play). The Bulldogs won the 2009 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament, allowing them to advance to the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to Washington in the Round of 64.

Departures

Four players from the 2008–09 team did not return for this season.

Roster

Because the Bulldogs were one player above the scholarship limit, Jarvis Varnado gave his scholarship up so that no one on the team would have to leave, making him a walk-on. Renardo Sidney was suspended for the entire season over recruitment violations.
