Hoppes-Mikanowski limit
Revision as of 00:20, 13 March 2013 by Matt Jackson (talk | contribs)
The Hoppes-Mikanowski limit is broken when two players on the same team each score above 70 ppg in any format. It was first broken at the 2000 NAQT IFT at Yale, by its namesakes Jeff Hoppes and Jacob Mikanowski. Their accomplishment remained unmatched until Emory's 2013 mirror of VCU Closed, where Will Butler and Adam Silverman[1] became the second pair of players to do so.
Further investigation reveals that the stat in question may have been a pre-modern stat called PATH rather than PPG, and the original "limit" may not have been set at all; regardless, its power to inspire has remained.
Attempts to Break the Hoppes-Mikanowski Limit
- 2009 Minnesota Open MIT Mirror - Jerry Vinokurov (71 PPG) and Eric Mukherjee (61 PPG)
- 2011 TIT Michigan Mirror - Andrew Hart (65.91 PPG) and Rob Carson (69.55 PPG)
- Countless others
