Anoop Desai To Sing National Anthem On Sunday
Posted Jan 9, 2010
Around Chapel Hill, he's known primarily as a UNC graduate, diehard Carolina basketball fan, and a former member of the popular Clef Hangers. Nationally, however, Anoop Desai is better-known as a participant on the 2009 edition of American Idol, where he placed in the top seven. On Sunday, Desai will combine both of those reputations when he sings the national anthem before the 7:45 home basketball game against Virginia Tech.
