A plane carrying the Kansas men's basketball team needed to make an emergency landing Sunday because of an engine issue.

"Upon our return flight home from San Jose, CA, roughly 20 minutes into the flight, one of the engines failed," the school said in a statement. "The pilot immediately contacted the San Jose Airport, where we returned and made a safe landing. We are grateful to the pilots and the entire flight crew of Swift Air. We will stay the night in San Jose and return to Lawrence once the plans have been finalized.
