2007–08 BC Mures season

BC Mures finished the 2007-2008 half season at 8th place with 7 wins and 6 losses. The team had the best offense in the Romanian first division with 1163 points (89,46 points/game) but also holds the worst defense record with 1164 (89,53 points/game). At half season United States Troy Selvey and Canada Jon Clark were waived by the management even though both players were loved by the crowd. To replace these players, the management signed with two players from the United States: Louis Truscott 29 years old, 200 cm power-forward and Frank Edward Russell 24 years old, 211 cm center. Jay Anderson, the blonde forward who was injured in the first game will miss the entire season and will be replaced by Luke McKenna. BC Mures finished the regular season on the 8th place, with a record of 15 wins and 11 losses. The team led in points scored, but also in points conceded.

In the first round of the playoffs stage BC Mures was paired against league leaders Asesoft Ploiesti. After losing the first game away from home by a narrow margin, they were defeated on their home court which meant elimination. Playing for the 5-8th place with playmaker JuJuan Cooley out, the team did not get another win, so their final league position for the season remained 8th.
