Evansville Aces Basketball Team Makes Emergency Landing

The team is safe and everyone is okay, but the Evansville Purple Aces men's basketball team had some scary moments overnight.

The Aces were on the road Wednesday night taking on Northern Iowa.  The Aces dropped the game 68 to 57 and were on board the plane headed home.  However, the pilot was forced to turn the plane around and make an emergency landing in Waterloo.

According to Lance Wilkerson, Aces play-by-play broadcaster, everyone is okay.   Shortly after the landing, he tweeted "Everyone is safe and sound.  Staying another night in Iowa.  Thank you pilots! Never serious."
