Wow! Good for Anna. She always seemed like a great teammate and I was sorry when she left after her sophomore year. I’ve enjoyed watching her develop in Europe and wish her every good thing in Phoenix. (May she not go, to quote Geno “O for America”!)

When Anna first came to UConn, she was cold from the 3-point line, despite being known as a great distance shooter, and Geno teased that she was “0-for-America.”

From the Nov. 20, 2019, UConn Blog: "Anna Makurat came to Storrs with a reputation for being a great shooter, though she had yet to show that aspect of her game at UConn, staring her career 0-for-11 from beyond the arc (or '0-for-America', as Auriemma called it).

"Makurat finally broke that streak against Virginia, sinking a three with 2:49 left in the half. The sense of relief from both Makurat and her head coach were palpable — the Poland native ran down the court with a wide smile on her face while Auriemma threw his hands in the air and did a spin move with some hops in celebration."
