What just happened with me and this girl??

You're over-analyzing everything. The girl obviously likes you and has probably been waiting for you to ask her out for awhile. When she suggested getting together for something other than basketball, that was a sign that she thinks of you as more than just a team-mate.

Don't read anything into her comment at the end of the evening. She's probably just as unsure as you are about where things stand, and was just trying to sound aloof.

Ask her out to dinner and a movie. When you drop her off at the end of the date, that's when you kiss her. As long as the date went well, that is.

Mauling her is not the answer if you want her to be your girlfriend as opposed to just some tail. It sounds like you really like this girl, so I'm guessing you don't want to scare her away.
