Sources -- Clemson finalizing new 6-year deal for HC Brad Brownell - ESPN

Clemson is finalizing a new six-year deal for men's basketball coach Brad Brownell that will keep him at the school through 2031, sources tell ESPN's Pete Thamel.

The deal is pending board approval and should be finalized in the near future, sources added.

Clemson went 27-6 overall this season, including an 18-2 mark in ACC play during the regular season. The Tigers defeated SMU in the quarterfinal round of the ACC tournament before losing to Louisville in the semifinals.

Brownell's club, ranked No. 10 nationally, earned a 5-seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament. Clemson will face 12-seed McNeese in first-round play on Thursday afternoon in Providence, Rhode Island.

Brownell received a new five-year contract worth $20 million after leading the Tigers to the Elite Eight last year.

In 15 seasons with the Tigers, Brownell is the school's all-time leader in victories with 292 headed into NCAA tournament play.
