Texas Tech, Kansas St look to end losing skids
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.
Even if they win their last two games, the Red Raiders (5-5, 2-5 Big 12) won't have a winning Big 12 record for a sixth straight season.
Both teams need the win to become bowl eligible: Kansas State (3-5, 0-5) requires wins in three of its final four games, while Texas Tech has to win one of its final two.
