They struggled for consistency in the Spanish top flight but still secured a playoff berth, finishing 7th with 19 wins and 15 defeats. Thirteen of those victories came in front of their home crowd.
In the final round, the Basque side defeated Tenerife 87-72 on the road in late May. Tryggvi Hlinason delivered an outstanding performance with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
