I thought the generally accepted position was that the universe is finite but expanding?


The observable universe is finite as according to our current models, light emitted beyond a certain distance will never reach us. The global size beyond the oberservational limit is harder to tackle. You're right that even though the observable universe is finite, it's volume is potentially increasing forever.
