A college basketball team got more than it bargained for during a flight home Sunday after the plane the team was traveling on was forced to make an emergency landing due to an engine failure.

According to CBS San Francisco, the No. 5 ranked Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team boarded the flight at San Jose International Airport Sunday afternoon following their victory over the Stanford Cardinal, 72-56.

About 20 minutes after taking off for Kansas, one of the plane’s engines failed, forcing the flight crew to call for an emergency landing back in San Jose. The aircraft landed safely without incident and no injuries were reported.
