CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Rich McBride scored 15 points Sunday to lead an Illinois team that was without guard Jamar Smith to a 48-37 victory over Northwestern.
The Illini win came six days after Smith and freshman center Brian Carlwell suffered concussions in a single-car accident.
Tim Doyle, who had 16 points when the teams met Feb. 7, managed just 9 points and three assists for the Wildcats (12-14, 2-11 Big Ten).
Forward Warren Carter added 10 points for the Illini (19-9, 7-6).
