Preseason

The 2009–10 Tigers men's basketball team had a much different look than the team that competed in the previous season. The Tigers replaced the following seniors from 2008–09:

Chris Johnson, C, 2-year starter
Garrett Temple, G, 4-year starter
Marcus Thornton, G, drafted in the second round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Miami Heat
Quinton Thornton, F, sixth man

However, Tasmin Mitchell decided to withdraw his name from the 2009 NBA draft and return to LSU for his red-shirt senior season. He joined junior Bo Spencer as the only two starters returning from last year.
