As a longtime analyst and insider within the UVA athletics community, Chhabra provided valuable insight into the team’s progress, key players, and upcoming challenges.

Discussing UVA’s recent 83-75 victory over Wake Forest, Chhabra praised the team’s growth, emphasizing the impact of transfer players and their adjustment to Ron Sanchez’s system. “We have a young team, and it’s going to take time for them to gel and come together and start to play Ron Sanchez offense and they are starting to,” he said. He highlighted the team’s strong perimeter shooting and Sanchez’s ability to maximize talent, noting that the program is showing clear improvement as they head into the final games of the season.

With speculation swirling about Virginia basketball’s future leadership, Chhabra weighed in on Sanchez’s potential to secure the head coaching job. “I think he’s already done it. He’s showing that he can bring these players together,” he stated. Acknowledging the team’s tough non-conference schedule and early struggles, he pointed out their recent turnaround as proof of Sanchez’s coaching ability.
