Chavlovich registered one of the greatest basketball careers in Lone Star Conference history from 2014-18 as he finished as the league's all-time leading scorer with 2,490 points. He finished his time in the Maroon & White as the only player in program history to reach 2,000 points while also sitting at the top in career field goals (789), field goal attempts (1,912), 3-pointers (388), 3-point attempts (1,062), and free throws (524). 
 
As a senior in 2018, the Arlington, Texas product led the Buffs to the program's first NCAA Elite Eight appearance since 1998 with a 95-87 victory over UT Permian Basin at the First United Bank Center. He totaled 71 points during the regional tournament, including 28 in the finals to earn MVP honors. The Buffs went on to defeat Le Moyne College, 87-73, to advance to the Final Four for the first time in school history. 
 
He was a four-time All-American and finalist for the 2018 Bevo Francis award which is given to the top men's basketball player who competes in the NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III and NAIA. During his senior season, he was named a First Team All-American by Basketball Times and received Honorable Mention honors by Division II Conference Commissioners' Association (D2CCA) and National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
 
Chavlovich returned to Buff Basketball last summer as an assistant coach after playing professionally in Croatia and Australia. Following his four-year career at WT, he signed a contract with the Croatian Side KK Bosco located in Zagreb, Croatia, before traveling to Australia to play with the FDBA Frankston Blues.
