Ritter, a native of Goshen, Indiana, stayed home for college to play for the Hoosiers from 1970-73. Over the course of his three years he saw his point production increase, averaging 6.8 points per game his first year, 14 in year two and 14.7 in his final year. After a first-round exit in the NIT in 1972, Ritter and the Hoosiers bounced back the following year and won the Big Ten, then advanced to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament in 1973.
