The 2008–09 Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball team represented the University of Arkansas in the 2008–09 college basketball season. The head coach was John Pelphrey, serving for his second year. The team played its home games in Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

2008–09 Roster

Entering the year, the Razorbacks pulled in the 24th best[1] recruiting class of 2008, including ESPNU 100 recruit Rotnei Clarke.[2] Clarke was ranked the sixth-best incoming point guard in the nation by ESPN.[3]

Former Razorbacks football star receiver Marcus Monk returned with a sixth year of eligibility to play basketball for the Hogs.[4] Intending to play both, Monk played 10 games for Stan Heath his freshman year before focusing only on football. Although picked in the 2008 NFL draft by the Chicago Bears, Monk never signed and remained an amateur athlete.[5]

Monk returned to the University shortly after the departure of Montrell McDonald. McDonald left the team on his own accord after the South Alabama game.[6]
