Not basketball but soccer - my daughter could have played and been a starter on many D1 soccer teams including UConn
She did not want to be a D1 athlete - she was a 3 sport starter at one of CT's largest HS  since her sophomore year and knew plenty of D1 players who explained to her the commitment and travel. She is a very committed player but the travel and being away from school was not her thing.
I coached soccer for over 25 years and wanted her to play D1 from the time she was U-9. Many of the players I coached who went D1 - a bunch of them ended up transferring to D2 and D3 schools.
My daughter ended playing D3 soccer in CT and achieving numerous awards for on field performance including AA status.
D1 is not for everyone - especially those who want to play as much as possible.
You go where you know in your heart you will be comfortable, however, if she is pro material - that is a different story

Best of luck and wishes for your daughter - its a big decision and really be based on academics and comfort before school name/status IMHO
