The team had the best offense in the Romanian first division with 1163 points, but also held the worst defense record with 1164. Midway through the season, Troy Selvey and Jon Clark were waived by the management, even though both players were loved by the fans of BC Mures. To replace these players, management signed two players from the United States: Louis Truscott a 29-year-old, 200 cm and Frank Edward Russell, a 24-year-old, 211 cm center. Jay Anderson, the forward who was injured in the team's first game, missed the entire season and was replaced by Luke McKenna.

In the first round of the playoffs, BC Mures were paired against league leaders Asesoft Ploiesti. After losing the first away game by a narrow margin, they were defeated on their home court in an elimination game. Playing for the 5-8th place with playmaker JuJuan Cooley out, the team did not get another win, cementing their position as eighth in the league.
Major Squad changes after end of season
