Finch took the court in all 119 games his team played during his tenure at the school, starting the final 115. Losses were rare during his career as he compiled a 102-13 record as a starter, recording the most career wins as a starter in NCAA Division III history.
He was a National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-America Honorable Mention in both 1991 and 1992 and ranks among the Diplomats statistical leaders in a number of categories. He scored 1287 points, grabbed 638 rebounds, and dished out 532 assists during his career, while also contributing defensively with 104 blocked shots and 253 steals. He was the team Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 1992 and a three-time All-MAC selection (1990, 1991, 1992).
In addition to his individual accomplishments, the 1992 graduate won three MAC Southern Division Championships and made four appearances in the NCAA Tournament. The Diplomats made two Elite 8 appearances and finished as the national runner-up in 1991.
