Michigan women's basketball plane makes emergency landing; team gets home safely

The Michigan women's basketball team's run in the NCAA tournament ended abruptly on Saturday.

But the road back home to Ann Arbor was just as bumpy and, quite honestly, way more scary.

U-M women's basketball assistant coach Toyelle Wilson shared Saturday night on social media on Saturday night that the team plane, going from San Antonio back to Michigan, flew through a storm. The plane lost considerable altitude, lost cabin pressure and the passengers had to use the deployed oxygen masks.

Wilson wrote that the plane had to make an emergency landing in Evansville, Indiana, about 430 miles southwest of Ann Arbor.
