The Minnesota Fillies was an American professional basketball team based in Minnesota, competing in the Women's Professional Basketball League from 1978-81. They were one of the only 3 teams to play in all 3 seasons of the league. The team's home court for its first two seasons was the Met Center, and the Minneapolis Auditorium for its last. The Women's Professional Basketball League was disbanded in 1981 because of financial problems throughout the league, but mostly due to the owners who did not pay their bills and bounced several payroll checks to players and other employees.〔http://www.funwhileitlasted.net/basketball/wpbl-galleries-1978-1981/〕 In 1981, the Minnesota Fillies players were promised paychecks by Commissioner Sherwin Fischer. As a direct result of a broken promise by the Commissioner, the Fillies walked off the court in Chicago 10 minutes before a scheduled game with the Chicago Hustle. The game was not played despite a full house at DePaul Alumni Hall, and the Fillies finished out the final few games of the 1980-81 season with replacement players.〔 ==Season-by-season records== |- |colspan="6" align=center | Minnesota Fillies |- |1978-79 || 17 || 17 || .500 || || |- |1979-80 || 22 || 12 || .647 || Won Quarter Finals Lost Semi Finals ||2-1 New Orleans 1-2 Iowa |- |1980-81 || 7 || 28 || .200 || || |- |Totals || 46 || 57 || .447 || || |- |Playoffs || 3 || 3 || .500 || || 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnesota Fillies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
