Michigan Basketball Team Makes Emergency Landing at EVV

File

A plane carrying the University of Michigan women’s basketball team home from Texas was forced to make an emergency landing at Evansville Regional Airport. 

Team spokeswoman Sarah VanMetre says the team was flying through stormy weather Saturday night and the plane lost cabin pressure.

Oxygen masks were deployed and the aircraft landed at Evansville Regional.

Van Metyre said no one was injured.

While on the ground in Evansville, the team ordered pizza and eventually got a flight to Ypsilanti.

The team then safely returned to Ann Arbor.

The Wolverines were returning to Michigan from San Antonio after they lost to Baylor in overtime in an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 matchup Saturday afternoon.
