LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Texas Tech and Kansas State are both looking to snap losing skids when they play on Saturday.

The Wildcats have lost five straight -- a first since 2008 -- and want to avoid their first six-game skid since 1989.

The Red Raiders have dropped their last three after a promising start, eliciting memories from coach Kliff Kingsbury's first season -- After starting 7-0, Texas Tech lost its final five games in 2013.
