Sunday's Elite Eight: Will anything change in these ACC rematches?

Nothing ever really goes away in our culture anymore.

Batman and Superman are back on the big screen. Netflix and other services are reviving every old TV series, from "Arrested Development" to "The X-Files" to "Full House." Producers know how much we like the familiar: lived-in characters, established backstories and nostalgic rhythms.

If those principles carry over into sports, then America should love the rest of this NCAA tournament. The next four games are guaranteed reboots, including a pair of rematches in Sunday's ACC tournament semifinals.

Whoops, make that the Elite Eight. The confusion is natural, since all four teams playing on Easter hail from the same conference.
