This setup has cross-bracing on top of joists where my set up has cross-bracing notched into joists (notice the extra wide cross bracing in middle of picture, thats for the plywood seams). This also has joists running the length, as you can see the heating duct is inside joist bay. This is from a website that shows his remodel.
