In his freshman season at Illinois, Carter played sparingly. In 17 games, he averaged 1.2 points per game.
Carter played in 33 games in the 2004–05 season when the Illini ranked #1 for most of the season, and ended as the NCAA runner-up to North Carolina Tar Heels. He was a backup for James Augustine and Roger Powell. He averaged 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.
In the 2005–06 season, Carter saw an increase in playing time, and increased his scoring average to 4.8 points per game. His best point production was on December 28, 2005, where he scored 14 points against SE Missouri St. coming off the bench. He also started in his first college game on December 18, 2005 against Coppin State University. The Illini made it to the 2006 NCAA Tournament, and Carter contributed 12 points in a first-round victory against the U.S. Air Force Academy.
After the first ten games of the 2006–07 season, Carter showed marked improvement, not only starting in each of the games, but leading the team in scoring with a 13.0 points per game. Carter was forced into a leading scoring role based on key early season injuries to Brian Randle and Jamar Smith. On November 28, 2006, he recorded a double-double in a loss to Maryland, scoring 13 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. In the following game, a loss to Arizona, he had another double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds. He also received the Big Ten Medal of Honor. First awarded in 1914, the Big Ten endowed a Medal of Honor to be given annually to a student in the graduating class of each university that demonstrated proficiency in scholarship and athletics. In 34 games, he averaged 13.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
