Ruoff back in the game as German professional league returns

(Citynet Statewide Sportsline interview with Alex Ruoff)

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When play in the German Basketball Bundesliga was halted by the pandemic on March 8, former WVU guard Alex Ruoff returned to the United States thinking that the season would be over.

However, compared to many of their European neighbors, Germany’s total of positive cases has been relatively low. So the BBL has returned to action with a ten-team postseason tournament to determine the league champion.

“I had no idea I would be coming back,” Ruoff said.
