OKLAHOMA CITY — Kansas State's Cinderella run through the Big 12 Tournament came to a difficult end Saturday night from Bricktown Ballpark, falling to TCU 17-7 in the semifinal round.&nbsp;The Wildcats struck first with a run in the top of the opening frame, but the Horned Frogs answered with seven in the bottom half.&nbsp;Kansas State would string together a bit of a comeback, getting to within 10-7 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, but again, the big bats of TCU would answer, scoring seven more and ending the game in a run rule.Following the game, K-State Head Coach Pete Hughes advocated for his team's NCAA Tournament resume, citing its record against top-tier conference teams, its deep pitching staff, and its high-powered offense all as reasons for a regional appearance.&nbsp;"The past 10 days, arguably, we're playing better than anyone in the country, so that's how you want to finish your season, heading into the postseason," said Hughes.&nbsp;The Wildcats record sits at 34-24 as it awaits its fate Monday, but with three victories against #5 Texas Tech and three more against #15 TCU."I've been the coach of at-large teams before," said Hughes. "This is an at-large team. The only thing that's missing is the historical, brand name in college baseball. If we had a historical, brand name across our chest, there wouldn't even be a conversation, there wouldn't even be a doubt."The Wildcats will find out their fate on Monday morning at 11a.m..&nbsp;
