"In our offense, we have certain lanes that we have to run," Davis said, "so I guess they did a bad in transition and I was just wide open."
The Bisons had battled back from 18 points down early in the second half to cut the lead to 47-37. Before Lipscomb (7-3) knew what had hit it, Davis struck and Alabama was up 56-37 and cruising to victory over a team that had been able to hang tough at North Carolina and Baylor.
"The momentum was in their favor and Charvez knocking those shots down swung the momentum back in our favor," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said.

"We set the tone defensively," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said. "Eventually, when we got some shots falling, we got the lead and were able to stretch the lead."

The practice site was determined by Capital One Bowl officials, according to an Alabama official. Alabama is paying to upgrade facilities there, Saban confirmed Tuesday.
"The facilities that we have there are good facilities," Saban said. "We always try to upgrade anything that we can, especially for player safety. We said that we would work on the fields, also the locker rooms for the sake of improving them for our use, which the school will benefit from because we're not going to take them with us.
"But we did that last year. We had some work done on the (California) fields where we practiced. Only because that's certainly a way that somebody can get injured if you don't have a quality practice field.

"The legacy of this team rests on how they finish the season," Alabama coach Nick Saban said Tuesday.
Before he was finished talking, he used the word "finish" nine times.
And before he was finished, he provided a lengthy, insightful answer when asked if his team has underachieved this season, concluding, "You reap what you sow."

"I think it hurts the players when you start suspending coaches, so I’m not sure I’m in agreement. But I’m not sure that I have a solution, because we do respect the rules and we do want everybody to abide by the rules," Saban said. "If this punishment is what’s going to change someone’s behavior, then I think it’s good. But if it’s not going to change anybody’s behavior, then I don’t really think it’s good."
