CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Andrej Stojakovic had 30 points and nine rebounds to lead No. 11 Illinois to an 89-70 victory over Maryland on Wednesday night.
David Mirkovic had 15 points and nine rebounds, Keaton Wagler scored 13 points and Jake Davis had 12 points for the Illini (16-3, 7-1 Big Ten), who won their eighth straight.
The Illini played without senior guard and second-leading scorer Kylan Boswell, who broke his right hand in practice on Monday, will have surgery Thursday and is expected to be sidelined until mid-February. Boswell is averaging 14.3 points per game.
He had played in all 124 games in his college career — 71 in two seasons at Arizona and 53 in two seasons at Illinois — before Wednesday.
Diggy Coit, who scored , was held to 15 points and guarded primarily by Stojakovic.
Andre Mills had 16 points and Solomon Washington had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Terrapins (8-11, 1-7), who are in a stretch of four of five games on the road.
Illinois led 47-30 at halftime thanks to a 25-4 run to end the half.
The Illini were 9 of 22 on 3-pointers in the first half and 15 of 40 in the game. Maryland made six of its first seven shots, but ended the night shooting just 40% from the field.
The last Illini home win over the Terrapins before Wednesday was a 76-64 victory on Jan. 6, 2022. Maryland is now 7-3 in its last 10 games at the State Farm Center.
